I am confused ( as usual ) I added the cars and came up with 3. Never mind, I didn't see the missing comma between lead unit and two cars. I am interested but can not come up with money for now. I would love have a piece of history that I have seen in my life time.

Pioneer Zephyer in 1/29th Scale!
Posted by Jerry Barnes on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 5:40 PM

Derrill has been talking to Accucraft about a short run of 50 sets of the Pioneer Zephyer. Here is his info:

 
Santa has done his best...here are the particulars.

"Talking to the Boss about this he says that a lead unit two cars and a tail car for a 4 unit set in 1:29th scale would retail at approx. $3000.00"
We would need 50 firm orders to proceed with this project 
 
The sets would be metal however all 50 guys would need a 10% deposit of $300.00 each 
 
There you have it. Is you want a set $300.00 deposit and we would need 50 deposits to get the project into production.
 
 Don't miss out on a piece of history. I have done what I can to this point. Please lets not let this project die.  I have five committed orders from individuals, one dealer wants five sets another wants three I will be taking two. That leaves 35 more sets to go.  I will not take deposits that is something we would work out with Accucraft at the appropriate time. Please let me know you interest ASAP and I can keep the powers that be informed. Once we have 50 FIRM orders a production date can be discussed . I really want to see this happen. Let make it happen.
