Hello all,

Here is the latest news.
We are getting the final metal castings and etch parts ready to begin packaging kits for the new run of the ZeN Master Pennsy R50B reefer kits next week. 
As before, these multimedia kits include a polyurethane resin cast body, pewter cast underframe, brake detail, and trucks, etch brake wheels, and printed ALPS decals.

I will have more about the ordering process shortly.

Best regards,
Michael Livingston

You're expecting to put out 200 of these kits?

Lookin' to get two more from this run as well. The last run sold out in days if I recall. Better act fast.

True Dat!

Not to change the subject... but while "we've" got GHQ's ear, I wonder if they would be interested in doing a PRR X23 and her cousin the NX23. I've got a Mark4 X23, but not sure what to do with it.

Hello all,

There is a delay with the brake wheel etches. Timing is now TBD.
I'll provide more news when I have it.

Please, please, please do NOT contact GHQ directly for information or status on this project.
Thank you for understanding.

Kind regards,
Michael Livingston

Hello again and thank you for your patience,

It looks like there will be a delay in getting the whole run out, BUT I have enough parts to build some kits now.
I will be posting the complete kits on eBay, as soon as I can get an accurate count.

The remaining kits will be sold when we get all the parts. 
I expect that the Buy It Now auction will go up by the weekend.

I'll provide more details and a link when the auction goes live this weekend.

Best regards,
Michael

seems to me this is a haphazard way to distribute
after announcing here and getting hopes us to be able to acquire some
then placing them on eBay
why not direct orders
disappointed and frustrated...

[thbguy]

I appreciate your candor and hope that you will appreciate mine.

The eBay auction is the only way that I have to control inventory during sales so we don't oversell what is available.
Parts are still pending for most of the kits. This is the only way we have to get some kits out before later this summer.

Again, this is NOT a GHQ project, and I ask that you do not contact them with questions about it.
Gregg and I are committing to get these out personally. We will assemble, pack, and ship the available kits ourselves.

Kind regards,
Michael Livingston

The posts which described the current state of affairs seemed clear enough to me.... I'm disappointed no one picked up on the X23 conversation.

Now is not the time to be frustrated. He said "SOME" of them will be on ebay.
