Dave Nelson If you want one that badly, pick up a kit for the cheapest price you can find. (I hope its a UP one) strip the shell and paint one. Your a model railroader are you not? That Red scheme is a dip job, you should have it through your workbench and out rolling on the railroad in a weekend. James.

Ray Breyer Modeling the NKP's Peoria Division, circa 1943 Reply Amtrk14 Member sinceJune 2004 240 posts Athearn News-6-8-04 Posted by Amtrk14 on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 2:26 PM Greetings and salutations. We have a lot going on here in our new world headquarters in Carson, CA. First, although the "move" is completed and we have vacated our old building in Compton, we still have a lot of unpacking to do and we need to get the production lines completely set up before we can start making kits here. Crews are plumbing the fire suppressant system for the paint booths today. The printing machines are set up with air and electricity, so as soon as the water piping is done on the spray booths we'll be painting and printing here. The packing lines and the test tracks are set up, so we'll be rolling soon. We expect to see rolling stock and locomotive kits starting to leave here by the end of this month. SD70MAC The first SD70MACs are "on the water" and will arrive here before the end of June. They should be in stores (at least the first few road names) in early July. The samples that we have gotten look real good. N Scale AUTOMAX and COAL PORTERS These should be arriving in stores right now. Check them out! NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS Here are our new products announced in early June. If you want quick, low resolution images, use the .jpg. If you want slow, high resolution images, use the .pdf. BUT please NOTE that when you use the ,pdf the images will first download to your computer, then you have to open Adobe Acrobat to view the images.
