Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

You beat me to the post!

We had some representatives over in China this past week visiting our suppliers.  A sample of the S2 with sound was available for testing, and the video was sent over to us.  Now that all of the components are approved, the factory can proceed with production.  First is getting the boards produced, which at this point have the longest lead time of all the parts.  We are going to do our best to have them here before year end - especially since the second run is already announced in our catalog!

Sounds great!   I got a chance to hear one in action (and ride in it!) a couple of years ago at the Amarillo Railroad Museum.

Frig you Atlas. I hate sound, but that 539 sounds soooooo appealing... if you did an Action Red multimark unit, I might bite on sound. Frig.

I love the Script, no doubt, but I want multi-mark... T&G is tooooo cliche.

Dear Cory, Paul
For that third run how about some SF State Belt Goodness  http://www.trainweb.org/westernrails/ca/sfb-24_9-87_jb.jpg or http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/3/9/9/3399.1075413180.jpg
For some really esoteric http://www.trainweb.org/westernrails/ca/abl-105_6-16-82_jb.jpg
I still wonder why no ESPEE tiger stripe !
Have to take a black Rio Grande , stripe the decals and redo?
Anyway, I can subscribe also for a SF Belt variant .... later :)
Waiting ... end of (this) year?
cheers

Dear Corey and Paul,
Western Maryland SpeedScript please! I mean you've done everything else in Speed Script GP9's, GP35's, SD35's, RS3's.... Only thing left now is the S2 and GP7!

Humbly Submitted,
The S.
