Just sent my order into LHS.  Not as bad as I thought, but I know there's going to be more I'd like to get.  There is 132 different items announced at once  :facepalm: :scared:

I had to scroll way down to find this (hopefully coming in Spring 2021):



They definitely are in production right now and are coming in early 2021.

@cfritschle I'm calling on you again - I hope you don't mind.
So here we have more Trainworx trucks announced - and still no truck parts.

I'm starting to suspect that Pat quietly decided to retire the entire line of truck parts.  I recall speaking to him few years ago and he mentioned what pain it was to package all the many dozens of different parts in individual baggies with cardboard tops and inventory all those stock numbers.  He probably also makes very little profit on those parts (since they are so labor intensive). What do you think? Will the truck parts be ever made available again?

Ask him?

I emailed this very question to Pat a few weeks ago and he said the first quarter of next year. So we will see. I still have hope.

I'm still hoping to someday see the Flexi-van cars and trailers announced in February 2018.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I asked Pat about these in July, and he said "maybe October".

So hopefully any time now.

I communicated with Pat a couple of days ago.  The parts are not being retired.  It's more of having the bulk of the line on hand rather than offering a fraction of the variety here and there.

Peter,

While the question has already been answered by others, I will still chime in.   :D

Pat has assured me the truck parts will be coming!  I actually requested an additional package of individual parts, but as you mentioned, there are already a lot of SKUs for all those parts!

All of the Freightliners are Cascadias.

Thanks for all the answers about parts - I guess I have to be patient.

Since they will only release like 5 of each model and sell out of these in like 2.7 seconds, I CALL DIBS ON THE KNIGHT TRANSPORTATION TRAILERS!  :D
Things might have changed in regard to quantities, although possibly to the other extreme. MBK still has plenty of the road tankers in stock that were released a few months back.

I accept that the price is what it is, but I for one simply cannot afford them.

Looks like I'll have to buy a Dick Simon tractor/trailer "just 'cause", even if I can't use it.  I didn't know he was making it at all, as it wasn't in the announcement PDFs in my email. 

I also see that N Scale Supply has posted the service dates for every item.  Thank you, Trainworx and NSN!  It makes it much easier for us that are not vehicle experts.
