This week at SHS
Mike and I have returned from this years NASG National Convention held in Minneapolis/Duluth. What a GREAT time. There were some really great layout and prototype tours. Meeting old friends and making new is part of our fun. I am sorry for all of those who missed this wonderful annual event. Letter from Kader Industries . On June 14th, we received a letter from the parent company of Sanda Kan, our builder in Hong Kong. The CEO, Ivan Ting, explained that Sanda Kan was reorganizing and that they would not be accepting new purchase orders, but all existing purchase orders would be filled. As you could imagine, this was an unexpected shock to all of us. A few phone calls later, we discovered that 59 other clients had also received this letter and only 20 accounts were to be kept. We are now exploring other possibilities and trying to determine exactly when our new fishbelly hoppers will be completed. Next container in port . The shipment from our builder arrived in port on Friday with our new reefers and rebuilt boxcars. A new unannounced roadname of rebuilt boxcar is included, the Southern Pacific. These were first offered for the 2010 S West. We will have #2 thru #4 with this shipment. We still have Nickel Plate Road boxcars. The SAL, GN boxcars as well as the Baby Ruth reefers were announced as sold out, but one of our dealers has gone out of business so we have a very few left. The boxcars can be ordered at: http://www.showcaseline.com/Boxcars/SteelRebuilt/BoxcarsSteelRebuit_in_stock.html The Baby Ruth reefers can be ordered at: http://www.showcaseline.com/Reefers/Billboard/woodenreefers_in_stock.html Also in this shipment we will be getting #00670 5 uncoupler, #00258 10 and #00257 15 straight track, Andrews and PRR 2D-F8 trucks. We now have in stock a shipment of 1/64th scale (item #32305) Great Northern Railway Motor Freight White/Freightliner COE Tractor w/ replica 40 Refrigerated Trailer.
