Maybe the answer for running this again is to take payments up front.

Great idea Bill. I'd be in for two if there's another run.

I suggested up-thread, that GHQ start another thread asking for a head count to get a rough idea of the demand. I know I would like 4 or 5 of these cars. Hopefully, there were no issues with the casting process and more runs will be available.

Hello all,

Just a quick note to say that almost all (if not all) of the orders have been processed and shipped by GHQ.

As soon as the reworked molds are ready, I will provide an update and timing for the next run.
Before the run, I will ask for a head count so we can try to accommodate everyone's needs and wants.

Thank you once again for the interest, support, and patience.
I will be offline for a few days, then back into the RR world.

Best regards to one and all.

Got mine today, very nice. I haven't done a resin car kit since some time back but this looks super-easy. Somewhere in this thread I heard there was going to be a paint guide as to what lettering styles and paint schemes were with timelines. That still going to happen?

Mine arrived yesterday.  The casting looks very good.  I'm curious to see how the trucks go together.  Has anyone heard anything about these being available separately?  I'll probably contact GHQ directly to find out.

This kit is pretty self-explanatory as to assembly, but I don't know where the little doodads on the smaller sprue go. I know the brake device goes somewhere, but exactly how? And are those other things on the sprue detail parts? If so, where do they go?

You can sortta see what's going on from this picture in this thread:
https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=32731.0

I'm trying to see if I can find better pics of his completed model. I know it's out there somewhere.

EDIT: I found the pics, but they don't show the underneath. I was, however able to zoom in quite a bit on this. Hope it helps!

Unfortunately I missed out too. If there were to be another ru I would take 3 or 4.

You missed the H32!  :P
And if you model late 50's through mid 60's the H2a in PRR paint!
So make that 9 releases!  :D
And Fox Valley announced the H30 a while ago, although no info on release date? edit: And five minutes later a new thread with the announcement!
And Bowser is rumored to be re-releasing their hoppers?

Where did you hear Bowser will be rerunning hoppers? Would make sense pairing with that over priced L1 Mikado and the BLI M1a that will be coming next year

They already reran the hoppers.
