I saw that earlier in Pat's email....  That's amazing...

It's like more new tooling than all of N-scale for the past year...

Yes, it is amazing!  Four new trucks and at least two new trailers.

Way cool! The flyer says "available now" but I can't find them anywhere, even at the TWX website.

Nice!  Are the tractors new models or are they based on the Con-Cor (Herpa?) tractors?

I sent Pat an email asking where I could buy them.  I haven't received a reply yet, but it sure would be nice to have them at the convention in Sacramento next week.

Peter,

All new tooling for the four different tractors!  And, it looks like we will finally be getting appropriate 10-hole alloy wheels in plastic.  I have a bunch of "older" trucks that need the wheels updated.

Wow.  If that 53' reefer trailer does not become available separately, then there is no justice in this world.

I would say that for all of this offering's components, undecs all around please.

It's hard to tell from the image available, but both the W900 and K100 appear to have headlights that indicate 1960s heritage.  Oh please, please, please...

This is AMAZING. This knocks out three of the trucks I've wanted as "GooseEggs" around the (future) layout.

I keep throwing money at my screen and nothing happens.

Are they on their way to retailers? I could use a few W900s and 379s.

OMG!   :o  :o  :o    The Peterbilt 281 with tanker is the truck from the movie "Duel"!!!

Now that is an inspired choice. All he needs to do now is the RS700 from "Convoy". :D

Damn, those are all really awesome, but I don't know if I can justify the price (to myself).

I'm not saying its out of line for such custom stuff though.
