I received an email from ScaleTrains today that the GP30s I preordered are due by the end of January.

Standby wallet!

I'm so glad I have no actual need for these. But they'd look nice with the DRGW Tunnel Motors I bought that I also have no need for.

Too bad they didn't do BN or CR or SP GP30's to go with the SD's I bought that I didn't need either  :facepalm:

Still waiting on my email.  My wallet will have a triple bypass - especially with the worsening exchange rate.  But I can’t pass up the opportunity to get some Southern high hood GP30’s.

Two Bs or not two Bs is your question?

Momentarily concerned about the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and less of said fortune when the credit card takes the hit. One of every number. Iconic for my modeling era, but you know that.

Interesting observation here... I have not received the e-mail about my order shortly to be processed. Doubly-puzzling is that I ordered the moment I received the announcement, so I would suppose I was somewhere near the start of the line. I verified that the order is still in the system, marked "PENDING".

Which leads me to ask the question: has anybody received the notice who ordered a B unit? Or UP, either A or B? I am wondering if they're dealing with a partial shipment from the factory, and certain versions are standing by for fulfillment. Or maybe certain road numbers, since I ordered one each of all?

I’d email or call them. I usually get a response within a day to emails, but I’d imagine phone calls would go even quicker.

Don't want to bother them, since either would take otherwise productive time. I'm not concerned, just mostly curious since prior releases have seemed more even. If I don't hear anything next week I'll make that call.

For me that would be Santa Fe.

I'll take a fast 40 sammich and a side of GP30s please.
