New Trains Coming from Williams
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 4:59 PM
Does anyone know what trains (engines) Williams is about to come out with. I heard they are bringing back alot of their products in November. I just thought somebody might have the inside info on this. I recently purchased their GP-9 and it is wonderful. I think they make an excellent product for the money. Not too many gadgets to go wrong and the price is very reasonable.

Williams has an F3 coming down the road. They've also got some new geep road names and a new series of freight cars based on postwar Lionel styles.

A photo of one of the Geep road names and one of the new Williams tank cars is in the October CTT which should be rolling off the presses any day now.

[:)] Just got one of the new Williams GP9s in the Bangor and Aroostook colors. Very nice paint job. I have several Williams engines and for the money you can't beat them. Great to see Williams offer engines of some of the smaller regional roads. Being a New Englander it's nice to see to something different then the same old reruns of the same roadnames all the time. Nothing against the Pennsy but green-black Geeps are so boring. But I must admit that I have a few F3s and Alcos in Santa Fe colors. That silver and red is hard to resist.

My understanding is the new Williams F3 will match the postwar Lionel F3's but I hear Williams has its own tooling for this engine. Have not heard which roadnames will be available or when the engines will be on the market. John Harding

Is there anywhere online you can see photos of Williams products, like an online catalog? I can't seem to find any.

thanks!

The main Williams page is: http://www.williamstrains.com.
Their newest offerings are at http://www.williamstrains.com/REPRO/GoldenMemorySeries.html.
You will need to toggle between the INDEX link and what you want to see.
