Briggs Models update

Hi Folks, we haven’t had an update in a while so he we go.

The N scale C636 kits are behind in shipping. We intend on having all orders for these locomotive kits caught up by next week so if you don't have yours yet they will be arriving or mailing shortly. If you are waiting for your C636 order and would like an update please reach out to Chris at chrisd@briggsmanufacturingassociates.com

There is an N scale C636 model design update - In talking to customers, and doing a little more research, the Atlas SD35 truck is only off by about 2 N scale inches on the center axle. We offer both the correct wheelbase with a gearbox and modified truck side frames without gearbox, to fit the Atlas trucks, which fit into the Atlas C630 frame with no modification.

By default we are shipping the Atlas side frames variant, as every customer save for two have wanted this easier to build and source parts for option. The extra gear sets are almost impossible to source from Atlas at this time because of the China factory supply problems every manufacturer save for us is seeing.

The N scale RS27 and RS36 models are almost ready to go. If anyone wants a different body version it's not a problem as we didn’t plan any versions that have less than 2 units. Production will start with the Pennsy, N&W, and NKP versions right away next week, as they were the most purchased. Other versions will go into production soon after. The part numbers below should go up on the website sometime next week. (Price $110 Canadian each)

RS27
NK59 ALCo Demo body version
NK60 Chicago and North Western body version
NK61 Pennsylvania version body version
NK62 Soo Line body version

RS36 $110 Canadian
NK63 Delware and Hudson body version
NK64 Nickel Plate Road body version
NK65 Norfolk and Western body version

Our HO Scale Hawker Siddley 52'6" welded gondolas, 52'6" Canadian riveted flat cars, and PGE/BCR 52'6" TOFC cars are coming in December/January so save you money HOers.

Check back frequently for updates, pricing and variants will be announced shortly.

Kind regards

Need to point out for any latecomers that the RS-27 ALCo Demo version is what you want for UP #'s 675-678, on the roster from '61-'71.

Very Cool.

Remind me please what else I would need to build an NKP RS-36 from your kit, and if it's high-hood or low (NKP had both).
I assume it's not too later to place an order?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

You will need an Atlas RS-11 (China version) and yes we can do the high hood version(s) as well. Not too late to order, please shoot me an email to chrisd@briggsmanufacturingassociates.com and I will put you on the list.

Kind regards,
Chris

I, and I suspect Bryan, ordered log flats a couple months ago.  The last time I looked, the order was "Awaiting Processing".  I'm not in a big hurry, just curious.

I will look into this with Jeff and email you back ASAP.

I emailed Chris today and I understand that Jeff is in the hospital.
I don't know any further details outside of that.

Just out of curiosity, why the AccuMate/MTL coupler combo?

Hi Karl

There has been little to no interest in the SD30C or GP20 ECOs. They have been put on the back burner for a few months. I will try and generate some more interest then.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Bryan

I believe Jeff wanted to demonstrate that either coupler could be used on the kit.

Kind regards,

Chris
