Paul, Simon, et al -- I am somewhat disturbed by the messages below. Allow me to make the proper distinctions...
1. The NASG Pullman project includes both the 12-1 and 10-1-2 cars and excludes the cafe car. American Models is offering only the cafe car separately. These projects are not related -- I.e., the NASG has nothing to do with the cafe cars. 2. The NASG cars have some features that American Models generally does not include in its usual offerings: Dry transfers for car names, wheelsets for both hirail and scale, couplers for both hirail and scale, and instructions for choosing your car names as well as reducing the operating radius. AM's cars have traditionally been available for hirail OR scale, not both in the same box. And they do not contain the NASG dry transfers for car names. These transfers were made exclusively for the NASG and have a retail value of $5.00 per set. Given this alone, the prices of the NASG Pullmans and the AM cafe cars are identical (within 5 cents). I see nothing wrong with AM's business practices here. It makes good sense to me for AM to offer a companion product to the NASG Pullmans. They are of equal value for what you get, and they do not compete with each other. Regarding delivery of the 12-1 and 10-1-2 cars -- The CNR and grey cars were delayed because AM ran out of wheelsets and had to reorder. They arrived in late December. AM estimated another 30 days to pack and ship the grey and CNR cars to the NASG for distribution to purchasers. Orders that include the CNR and/or grey cars (even if they also ordered red and/or green cars) will be filled when the CNR and grey cars are received from AM. People who ordered only green and/or red cars already have theirs. Dick Karnes, Exec.
