I will soon post further details, just have a little more patience...
...as mentioned - pre-production sample shown - there are some "minor details" which have to be changed first.

...for how long did we wait on this trucks ? does one or two more days really matter ?

You make me happy in my old age....    ???

I don't know, every time I see a dealer with a large inventory of Kato stuff, I see them trying to sell them at full retail. I understand overhead and all, but they aren't making money if it is sitting on their shelves.

This is done with all brands. Larger dealers typically discont 25 to 30% off MSRP. My local dealer discounts after it sits in the case for 4 months. I was so awestruck by the empire builder cars, I paid MSRP on impulse for an "A" set. Things evened up however when Factory Direct  blew out GN E-7's. Even at MSRP, Kato Empire Builder coaches are worth the money I think.

So what the deal with the sideframes, I have about 10 CSX ac44 that are in need of them.

I'm still waiting on the final quote for those things...
...stay tuned (and have patience).

You just know that the day you finish converting your models that Kato is going to announce them...

I just finished a bunch of MTL 89' flats in yellow - and was doing the decal design in Illustrator when I saw the DODX 89' flats coming in March with the USMC set.

Lou, I wouldn't EVER trouble yourself over an upcoming thing from MTL, unless you want to spend $40 per car...

[ljudice]

Ed, I know like I'm actually going to buy the set to get the flatcars!!   

BTW, the sill of those cars are yellow too - wonder if MTL will get this?

Futures...isn't that where you sell something 3 months hence on the basis that the buy price will be less at that time and you take the profit (and/or vice versa) but it's all done on paper and nothing ever physically changes hands.....oops sorry my bad that's PCM!
