LIMITED TrainCat Re-Releases At The Etcher

[TrainCat2]

Ooh fingers crossed for the single-track Thru Plate Girder bridge!

  Frank

Frank, Didn't ATL release the same one as mine in plastic ?? The brass bridges are going to be the exception to the 3-Pack because of their size and $$$$$. The single thru girder might be doable as a filler on another sheet, I just didn't think anyone would want the brass one when the plastic was available. Live and learn.

Ah yes, this one?  On second glance, it is the same length (6").

I would be up for:

3 pack C&O / B&O Cantilevered Bridge

Chip loader

And I can even use a skewed thru girder to model this bridge on a module i am building:

Also can the auto carriers you have in n scale be used with the PB truck since GHQ doesn't make the Mack any longer?

If the tram track crane comes back into production I would be interested in some.

Since I  learned that the newly etched items will come in 3-packs I'll have to revise (lower) the quantities I was interested in earlier.

Hi Bob,

Great to see that you have found a way to run of some of your wonderful etches 

I've sent you a PM with the below order, but can see that this discussion is more active here.

I'm keen to order the following if you can fit me in:

QTY 3   1301003 (N)      2-Track Early SP Signal Bridge

QTY 3   1301007 (N)      2-Track Late SP Signal Bridge

QTY 3   1300701 (N)      Santa Fe / SP Cantilevered Bridge


I'm not too concerned about pricing as I'm keenly aware that etching is very expensive these days.

To be honest, if this required me to purchase an entire sheet, then that's something I could live with.

I would just be so grateful if you could fit me into any production run.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Tim Benson

Bob:
I would take several PRR GRa and G22 gons.  Let me know how many you would require to be ordered.  Do you still have any decals for these?  I can probably send some to other PRR N scalers.

Thanks,
Doug Nelson

[James Costello]

I am glad members are letting me know what is popular because the smaller sized sheets open up areas that would have been wasted where I can stick in a few other items. Now the sheet will be a mixed use instead of just one item.

I have a need myself for 2-3 Industrial Overhead Cranes so DO expect those to be rerun early 2025. Have you guys seen the prices being paid for the Walthers plastic crane? I have been watching them for years going for over $125 for a part that used to MSRP for less than $20. THAT requires investigation for a new product. May have to sub-contract a 3D printer to get the winches. I’m hesitant cuz any self respecting scratchbuilder can make those. Thoughts?

SP Late signal bridge. This has come up before in PMs and while I can etch parts, I do not have a laser cutter. Even the small desktop models can’t be justified for the few parts so These will need subcontractors as well. I would need 20-25 hard reservations for this item. Same for the SP Early.

Wood chip loader is a huge metal hog meaning it could be $200 plus and also needs laser cutting.

I no longer have a personal need, but I have a design that I was at 80% complete and would love to see that come to light. Would anyone have a need for a Skewed Thru Pratt Bridge? I was creating the bridge design after seeing it on the Southern Rat Hole line. It could be a cool structure. Main reason I never produced it was I saw people kitbashing CV bridges.

Always on the lookout for ideas that can be viable.
