Feb Announcements
Today we are happy to announce a new batch of N Scale GEVO locomotives in some of the more popular schemes. The first group are previous run schemes with new road numbers. They include Florida East Coast, BNSF (this group will have the new PTC Antenna) and Citirail. These are all available in 3 road numbers each.

The second group are re-runs of locomotives we still get request for. They include the GE Evolution Hybrid demonstrator unit, CSX Safety Train, Iowa Interstate in Red/Yellow and the CSX Heritage Chessie System unit. Reservations are requested by Feb 28, so we can get them started right when the factories get back to work. MSRP on each unit is $135.00 and delivery is expected for mid 2018. Thanks for your support.

Best regards,

Matt

Man! I got excited for the Citirail units, until I realized they were the 15xx series and not the 12xx series like the first run. Alas, I'll keep looking for a first run unit.

Thankfully I got my GECX 2010 on the cheap side, and the IAIS 516 was a pre-order.

Those FEC units are tempting.

they had them (at least recently) at lombardhobbies.com

They are but they were delivered in 2015, whereas the 1200s were delivered in Dec 2012.

Glad to see FEC power again. I missed out the first time, one of the very few times my LHS let me down.
I'll also gladly take another Citirail engine, only got one last time. It's shaping up to be another expensive year.

I wonder if someone like MT could make the FEC propane fuel tender that travels with the FEC GEVOS.
Looks like a repurposed and modified well car with a tank. There are at least 12 of them FEC 300-312.

Looks like part of the car has been done:

Speaking of LNG, did Matt ever do the GECX 3000 unit? I know he did 2010 and 2011, maybe at some point we can get 3000?
