All things being equal the N scale GMD-1 will be on North American shores and in our warehouse within two weeks, if not sooner. That means they will hit distributors and LHS's before the end of the month...

If I can find one with a dialysis clinic I, of course, will be sitting on a 23rd storey ledge with a cigarette and blindfold waiting for the reaction............ :facepalm:

Mr. Walls considers himself warned. As long as the cab lights aren't as bright inside as the Pte. St. Charles van you'll hear no complaints from me.

They were going to be but we had an issue obtaining the depleted nuclear materials needed so.....  :D

Our first N scale locomotive; the GMD-1 is on it's way and is expected in our Markham, Ontario warehouse mid next week....



Laid up as I am right now I am still excited to see this project come to reality..... Guess I better start hobbling from Peterborough to Markham; if I leave now I'll get there in time to watch the truck unload!



Even the fleet is leaving port......... :D



Here we go........... ;)

Wow.

Even though I have no idea what I'm going to do with the sound-equipped one that I ordered, I now can't wait to get it . . .

Yep; sold a bunch of fleets (I really don't know how many, over 20 anyway..) Some went to clubs, members splitting the fleet up; some went to LHS's that want to break them up and sell the unique numbers, some went to collector's who have the means and one went to a guy who just told me he wanted to run the fleet... and I really hope he remembers to send me the video he promised.... :drool: :o

Going to paint my undec unit for a phantom RR, Still River. The real real river runs all over the place here in Fairfield and Litchfield counties in western CT.
 Now just need to come up with a paint scheme. Hmmm, Raritan River RR comes to mind. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/rr/rr2crc.jpghttp://www.rr-fallenflags.org/rr/rr2crc.jpg
 Bad timing on release, Pud. Killing my wallet:(
