Crap, I was going to hold off for one the future sets, but @CSXBaltimore  you posted the link to MTS re-stock  :facepalm:  :D

The stock level is dropping fast.

Holy Crap. They were at 32 sets when I ordered at 11:30 this morning. They are now down to 13, 5 hours later.  Ironically, I accidentally bought two sets today, the other one from the texnrails place. For some reason I thought they were two different runs. Im so green at this.  Not sure how I feel about duplicate numbers. But then, having 6 of them might be nice.

Down to 9 now.

If we replay the MT video will that make more cars? I think they underestimated demand.

I'm sure MTL will run another batch of these cars in the future (with different numbers).  I'm also pretty sure that since this run sold out so quickly, you will be able to easily sell one of your first-run sets to someone who will like to have unique road numbers with their next run of cars.  You can post them for sale on Railwire and avoid eBay hassle.

TTX is one of the biggest fleets out there in TBOX, so no question they will tun this version of early TTX again. Also can’t wait until they do tagged and weathered versions. Those are going to go even faster.

Great to see them pull this off.

So, dumb question, but I've been anxious for these since April of 2019. Has any individual who reserved them then been contacted by MTL for payment for their set? I'm annoyed because I did reserve and made the deposit on the full retail price. But what is really under my crawl is that others without skin in the game are getting these before me. I know I am small in the manufacturer's eyes compared to the MB Kleins and the like, but I would like to feel like those that made the reservations are being honored. Otherwise, I'd pull the trigger on a set from a LHS.

Curious if any of the video segments were shot AFTER the wild fires that came oh so close to their location (and the situation for their employees)?

There is another run coming with the "red" TTX logo— originally scheduled for January.

But will the red logo be Tampo or Ink Jet printed?  ;)

Our shop had some ordered from MT, they never arrived with our last order. Hoping it was just a situation where they came available days after our order shipped.
