New Products from Cutting Edge Scale Models!

[dcutting]

I have started this thread to limit the huge number of individual threads that get abandoned because they're just a single product.

First off is a C425 high nose to convert the LL C424.

I wonder why aren't you posting new product info in the Product Discussion section like everybody else does?

Passive aggressive much?

Sorry 'bout that guys. Looks like someone moved it. That is totally fine.

Neah, just aggressive. Looking for more bad karma points. 

Ok, back to the regularly scheduled thread...

These hood/cabs look like a nifty conversion.

As a Lehigh Valley modeler, I would love to see an SW8 "pup" dynamic brake conversion:

Probably not much sales potential, I know

I'd like to see a C636 body and the C&NW version of the short tall hood for RS/RSD.

+1 for the thing of C&NW beauty that Sirenworks posted.

Here's my personal "wants" list, all involving the Ann Arbor… I know some others who would be on board, too.


DT&I/Ann Arbor GP35 noses with nose headlights to fit the Atlas/Kato/Atlas/China model. The AA units lasted many years under TSBY (when I took these photos) and were still running fairly recently for GLC:

I'm guessing "plain" GP35 noses with nose headlights would probably find an audience as well. Atlas/Kato never did them* and I'm certain a number of the schemes that have been released over the years should have had them.
*A nose headlight version parts# is on one of the Atlas parts diagrams, never released as far as I know.


Wabash/Ann Arbor streamlined cupola cabooses:

Finally…the "frog eye" headlight for Ann Arbor RS-1, and the vertical twin headlight below it (forgive me for not knowing the proper name). I don't have my own reference photos for this yet. AA #20 is stuffed and mounted in Michigan, I need to get up there:

It is recommended that you paint the parts while still on the sprue. Cut the parts from the sprue, and install with a tiny dot of super glue.

Sweet! I'll be getting me some of those. Are 5-packs (EMD rear lights) on the agenda?
