AZL New Release Preview Photo

[ztrack]

AZL is preparing to release quite a few new items this year. I have been given the okay to post this photo. It shows preproduction test shots of the auto-racks and ACF 4-Bays hoppers. These photos are not of the final cars, but I think you agree, with the printing, they look great!  The SOO line ACF 3-Bay hoppers will be release in the next month.

Beautiful Cars Rob! Tom (Mann) are you ready for more weathering jobs?

The hoppers may very well find a home on my layout,but the autoracks will get passed on.They are nice looking cars but I simply do not have enough layout for them. 

[ztrack]

There is only one solution.... a bigger layout!  ;D

[Sokramiketes]

Yeah, I'm gonna need one or two autoracks...   

[Catt]

There is only one solution.... a bigger layout! ;D

Then I would need a bigger car to haul it in. :

Great photo Mike! I can't wait to get the autoracks. I plan on running them in unit trains on our Z modules. I love the look of long trains running on the layout and the autoracks will really stand out.

I am with you guys on the Soo Line cars. They are going to be excellent! Of course, I am looking forward to seeing these get Tom's treatment.  ;D

Mike, MTL even came out with a H1 geep this month, but I dont want to get you started.  ;D

Yeah, and if I buy the H1 geep, then the hood width with also match the pending MTL SD40-2 for this train, eh?   

See my other thread for Gp35 adventures... still trying to decide if I want any more MTL GP's or if I just wait for AZL GP38's.  Unfortunantly it will likely be a long time before someone does a scale SD40-2*, but maybe AZL will think about it. 

*edit: in plastic!

Mike, I do have a Rogue GP38 shell running on a MTL GP35 chassis. The fit is very tight, and the chassis is a little short, but it looks the part.
