Understand from Ron that all the brass parts will be available after the project is finished. Many of them are usable on other EMD Engines. He does have an GP/SD 7/9 Snow Plow in "O" scale brass, but is not going to produce it in "S". So all of you GP/SD 7/9 guys, besides me, that want it better let him know there is a market for it. Told him I would buy at least fifteen of them. Bill --- On Sun, 7/10/11, Greg <[email protected]> wrote:
From: Greg <[email protected]> Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: Old Sac report To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, July 10, 2011, 9:36 PM I got a chance to see the SD45 test shots at the Des Plaines Hobbies both today at the National Train Show and talk to Ron briefly. I had a great chat with Ron about the SD45 shell although it was a bit short. It is a work of art. He had two versions of the cab, one being the NP/BN with four windows on the side. The progress maybe a bit slow for some of you but the wait is well worth it IMHO. I also got to chat with Bob Werre and we both agreed it will be an outstanding unit. There were 4 S layouts at the show including an Sn3. All of them seemed to be well watched and the feeling I got was "S is a great size." We all know that but today there were G gauge layouts down to Z and I felt the S layouts held their own very well. One comment I heard about the Z layout was "where's the magnifying glass?" All in all, a pretty good display and interest level gauge IMO. S got a strong boost in recognition this last week.
