New Haven and TPW PS1's for me.  I am patiently waiting for the first run cars I have reserved (LV, BCK & MILW).  Maybe Pennsy will be in the third release, but that would require an 8' superior door.  I am sure Atlas will get to it eventually.  Thanks.

I told Cory not to do that.

No doubt.  8)   Been waiting for this car since I saw the artwork well over a year ago.

I wish you would tell Cory not to do the last remaining Chessie Safety Caboose Int wide vision.

How many people do you suppose model railroads south of the boarder?  How common would it be for those engines to roam US rails.

A lot of people are retiring to Mexico - perhaps that could be driving sales.  I know in Europe a lot of people retire to Spain which has made Spanish prototype stuff #4 to the usual GER, AUS, SWI models....

The PGE RS 3 will be a nice starting model to try and "Canadian-ize"....The 7 ft door PS-1's are "da bomb"....
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!

 :|         Having made two trips thru Mexico on trains when it was still possible to do so I would have some intrest in Mexician Locomotives. The National of Mexico scheme is their old scheme also applyed to F Units and other cab units. In the late 80's early 90's paint scheme changed to orange and blue,a fairly unatractive scheme. Pacifico locos would be cool to have as that roads seperate identy becane part of N DE M  and their colors were replaced. One of my trips was on a private train operated (owned) by "The Pacific Railroad Society",the Mecxicias' supplyed the locomotives,crews,sleeping car help,and wait staff. PRS supplyed member help in their diner to cook,do some serving.We carried all our ice for the EX UP Club Lounge car from the US a huge quanity for our almost 2 week tri,we purchased food in local town markets enroute.. The train served as our hotel execpt at two stops, we passed thru Mexico City at night just to switch train lines(did not stop),a cool trip ,but pricey. My other trip was on a then existing train  from Nogales to Guadlajara,to view a total solar eclipse. This is a new product post so so much for my travels. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake.Utah.

There it is!  New Haven in the second run with the seven foot Superior door.
This.
Just purchased the MT versions, but will replace with this.

The 7' doors are so SPF as half the boxcar fleet had 'em. I've already ordered a bunch of undecs (they come with all 3 door types) just to use the doors for other projects.....
Cheers,
Scott

We do have a distributor in Mexico, and they seem to do quite well with purchasing road names for sale in their country.  The market is not always necessarily US and Canada only.

Paul, that is really interesting to know.  I am glad it a positive impact on the business and brings in a broader customer base.  I appreciate the response!
