Cool , when the LIRR ones come out in another run they could creep along just like the M-1 ,3, and now 7 , what LIRR riders call the silver snail .

I wish they'd make something in my era just so I could support them...I love it!  (Looks like a decent loco, too...)

Where did you get the decals for the converted mail/baggage cars? I need multiple sets for the pre-McGinness version.

That's the first off the new tooling - already looks better than original attempt. Final decorated sample for Springfield, deadline two weeks after and production right after CNY. In stores May.....

God I hope so!  of course, I am still hoping for an N scale LRV in that cool shuttle scheme Rapido for the HO auction.

Hi Jerry,

We'll have final samples at Springfield and then we'll close the order desk in February.  Delivery should be June/July.

Ah, I see Mike already responded. We'll be lucky if they come out in May, but we can always try!  :)
