Link to just the log trucks: https://www.train-worx.com/?product_cat=log-trucks

I should email Pat about just a trailer and rear tractor finger rack. I bought one of the Red Peterbuilts of the bay a few years back not exactly knowing what it was.

I may tempted into a couple more if I could complete the single.
Attempting to model a modern Southern Pacific based in 2015/2016...

Also, I have a passenger train addiction...

I got an email from N Scale Supply asking if I still wanted them, given the higher than expected price.  I confirmed the order. 

Hopefully the other trucks I have reserved from them will show soon.  Some have been out there longer than the log trucks!

Might need an auto loan from the bank for these. I noticed NSS wasn't offering any discount on the MSRP.

No they are not, however if you order direct from Pat you get free shipping over a $100.

A handful of dealers went full retail when the last run of LTL equipment came out.  Think some feel they are going to end up $100 in the aftermarket, so why discount

What is humorous is that there is still a lot of the LTL stuff out there from dealers who are selling below MSRP.  I don't know the production numbers Pat had for the LTL stuff but it sure wasn't as limited like some of the previous runs.

They're already showing up on eBay for $89.95 each with free shipping.

NSS is offering a discount for those who reserved them many years ago.  The original NSS price was $35.96, I'm getting mine for $43.16.  After five years and everything that's happened in between, not a bad price.

The Trainworx logging trucks have arrived!  All of the trucks are awesome, but I was able to take a quick snapshot of two of my favorites, the Jack A Buell Peterbilt 379 and the Jack A Buell Kenworth W900.

 
I moved my modeling locale a few hundred miles north when these trucks were announced.  Instead of southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon my modeling locale is now northern Idaho and western eastern Washington.  And yes, I have the trailer on the Peterbilt a bit crooked.

Western Washington has some impressive trees, but eastern Washington might be easier to model with northern Idaho.

Oops, my error.  Thank you, I meant eastern Washington.  :oops:
