New Trucks from Trainworx

[cfritschle]

Carter,

Did you ask whether these are going to be regularly available, via other the normal release schedule, or is this a one time, these products (in any paint scheme) will never be seen again situation?  If they will be available again, when?  I have needs for much of this, but not as offered.

Bryan

Bryan,

While Pat has not given me any details about future releases, he did state:  "I will have decorated parts available over the next several years."  Since this is a huge investment in tooling, I think it is a safe bet to expect multiple releases of these trucks.  That is if there is a market for them.   

Carter

Edit:  Sorry to repeat myself, I see that I already answered Bryan's question the best I could earlier in the thread.  This has been a very busy week, preparing for the convention in Sacramento and trying to keep up with all of the questions that this announcement has generated.

Once I see these in person, I will be able to offer suggestions for backdating to the 1960s.Carter

Hey Carter, are you going to do a complete report on these eventually? I would really like to see what someone (like yourself) with good truck knowledge has to say about these.

Personally I could do without the cheesy movie decor. I just want trucks, bare if possible. Kit form would be even better.

I will do a full report as soon as my package arrived. I bought the whole set (obviously).

I know there will be good pictures. I've been fooled before by the Small & Blurry photo studios. I have high hopes for Trainworx.

James,

I was hoping to get a package from Trainworx today, but it didn't arrive.  Hopefully the trucks will arrive Monday so I can get some close up photos before leaving for Sacramento.

Pat of course plans to have them at the Swap-A-Rama on Friday and the public show Friday afternoon and Saturday.  I will try to get as much information posted as I can about the trucks once I see them in person.

Excellent. Between you and Daniel I should get enough of a look to make some decisions.

When is the Sacramento show?

[bbussey]

This week.  Wednesday to next Sunday.

Thanks Bryan.

Daniel got his mail before I did today, so I will just post some photos of the tractors with other N scale models.

Below is a Detail Associates Kenworth with the Trainworx Peterbilt 281/351.


Next is the Con-Cor "Kenworth" with the Trainworx Kenworth W900.


Here is the Con-Cor "Freightliner" with the Trainworx Kenworth K100


And finally we have the Con-Cor "Kenworth" with the Trainworx Peterbilt 379


Pat tooled another grille/headlights for the Peterbilt 379 so additional releases can have a "stock" appearance.

Holy moses these are awesome. Pity the dollar and freight are so off for us Aussies. They work out very expensive to ship here.

I never followed any of the Transformers other than the first movie.
My two nephews were big into them though and I always thought Optimus Prime was a Cab Over?



Or did they change him with the first movie?
Not complaining, just curious.

[jimmo]

Looks as if TW just raised the bar for N-scale trucks.

He was a cab over in the first movie too.

Ooops, shows you how much I followed them.   
Thanks

I thought same thing Allen.  He got a major upgrade from the animated series.

Here is a Youtube video showing the many faces/designs of Optimus Prime.
