I will speak with Jeff tonight about the site...... :P

Thank you sir, I'd hate to miss out on a few of these, as I want to do my part!  :D
Cheers,
Scott

Slightly off topic but are the Prairie Shadows 70-ton bulkheads available at a shop in the US? If so, are they listed under the Rapido name or PS?
The website shows them as out of stock. Were they already delivered or are they still on the way?

The only vendors I've seen carry them besides Prairie Shadows are Canadians.  I've ordered from Prairie Shadows and Credit Valley by internet with no problems.  BLW i staking orders for the GMD-1, so they may be getting on the band wagon.

The other thing is everytime you shut down the layout , it reset "ON" the red marker lights on both ends when you turn it back on . Not a big thing but it's a little problem .

The HO scale CP Rail cabooses were the same way.

I must have gotten one of the cabooses with the shell glued on.  I can't budge the damn thing, even by prying out the sides. :x

Seems odd. I tried six random vans last night and all were like butter. Pinch a truck and the cupola, and gently rock while pulling apart,,, should slide right off. I could not perceive any sign of them being held on by a tab or any other means.
