I have been frequently approached by Espee fans, that are looking for their Cab Forward. (Especially, since the Overland cars are out). Well, I have two which may go to a new owner. Let me know if you would prefer to purchase them directly from me or via Rob Kluz. My best, Sven PS: This one here, out of the Jürg Rüdi collection, is of course not available for sale, but gives you a good impression!

And it’s gone! Congrats to whomever got his/her loco. Seems to me that AZL nailed the number of units for the heritage release. Not too many, not too little - perfect alignment with the scarcity principle. Cant wait for my D&RGRW unit to arrive today! As a Coloradan close to the heart so to speak. -Tiest I second that, Tiest! The Heritage locos deserve a little scarcity and special attention. Look at the NS Heritage locos, nobody interested in. Scarcity seems to only kick in when we are talking West Coast and especially UP. But when scarcity becomes a problem is when "standard" items are no more available, such as baggage cars, RPOs, diners, Dome cars etc. And there I see the need by AZL to react, because this in the meanwhile hits many prominent railroads, such as UP, DRGW, Pullman Green, etc. Thus, give the collectors what the collectors want and the rail-roaders what they need, please! Is there any collector who does not love scarcity? Is there any rail-roader who does not hate unavailability of needed items? Well played so far by AZL, I would say as a summary! Best, Sven

Good morning, Ed, If you go back in the thread, you will see the content of three parcels I did send to Rob last week. This is mainly out-of-production items from AZL, MTL, Full Throttle and Freudenreich. Some of them are brass and others are injection molded. Rob will put them on his web page naming their respective product number, so that you know exactly what kind of product this will be. Next week I will send three more parcels, and so on..... I think that this is the best service possible. OK for you? Best, Sven
