I am waiting for the 2nd run of the Hiawatha............May or June is what they told me!

From what I hear it's the same time for the GP60s.

Painted versions have been at the FVM booth for some time, and now reside at Des Plaines Hobbies.  They look sharp, and I'm anxiously awaiting my Warbonnet.

Shame theyre not doing a proper porkchop windshield CN ES44DC with markers eh Scott?

The windshield is correct for CN 2290 and up. The marker is not in the nose, either, but mounted above the ditch lights on this series.

I've seen the Walther's GP-60's, but not the FVM GP-60M or GP-60B.
Wanting undec's of both, gotta do some modern DT&I, like in HO scale.

I am waiting for the bunk coaches so I can cut some up and convert into MOW cars.

Tim. Just back date your layout, and run a passenger train up to Dawson Creek using the cars... They would really look too nice to cut them apart.

It sounded like a good idea at the time... too bad the caboose wasn't in on the plan.

Matt at FVM emailed in response to my inquiry that in the next few months they will be announcing part numbers for wagontop cabooses in N!

 :) In my view, it would be great if someone from Fox Valley would participate in this forum!!
I have purchased the B&O wagontop boxcars and want to add new releases to my roster, however
I find the company website very challenging in regard to learning the status of new models.

Matt of Fox Valley is a member here (Matt G) but does not post much.  The Fox Valley Facebook page is the best source for FVM news.  The FVM web site is a bit of a relic.

Why the hell would you buy something you have no use for?   ;)

I'm still torn with the Wrong NARROW hand rails. But I'll be picking up the Southern.
