AZL May New Items Part 2 - Bethgons Are Back!

Very nice! A great release. I'm hoping the NS bethgons will be included.

Oh, hey, look at that! For some reason I thought we still had NS Bethgons from the old first run, but I was wrong - sold out.

Anyway, it doesn't matter because, YES - we DID make new NS Bethgons - but they look sooooooo much better than the last ones...

I would show you a picture, but that would not do them justice. It's all about the paint and pad printing - each individual rib was painted, and the body is a mix of two colors of grey and shiny aluminium with black lettering, yellow safety stripes, and red and white warning labels. I know that sounds like a mess, but they REALLY look good.




No, we have our release calendar set for the E8, although I have to admit I don't have it handy and I can't remember what it is! That just sounds awful, but I spend most of my time working on future releases now. Once it gets shipped it is in Rob Kluz's hands. Actually I should say once it gets delivered to Ohio it's in his hands as we had a nasty customs delay last week. What is it with Oakland, California? I swear they are the WORST! Anything that goes to Anchorage or Memphis sails through with zero delay. Oakland wants my shoe size and blood type before they will clear a shipment. Maybe they are just dehydrated and light headed.


Enjoy the release!

Best,

PS: A new run of PS2cd 4750sq/ft hoppers has completed production. They are now "out of my hands" (see above) so expect the first release in about 2 weeks.

Dear AZL team,
Don't get me wrong, but the road# of the Bethgons are not matching the paint scheme. Black cars (with silver inside btw) had numbers from 634150 or so onwards, the numbers you show were silver-green cars (originally, but mostly looking brown-green due to good care)with black troughs.

Yes, the NS from the first run have been long sold out. We still have Conrail available. We also have a few sets of the BNSF with swoosh logo form the 2nd run of Bethgons. I am with Rob A on this one. The new NS are incredible!
