As most who have received their U33s, or read here, there are no scale wheels
in the box as Lionel advertised in their catalog. Several folks have now
called Lionel as mentioned on page 24 of the manual. Their instruction have
been to call back on February 1st. Even if you are not going to run your loco
for awhile, don't forget to procure them. I doubt Lionel ran enough wheels for
every U33 they had made and when Lionel parts are gone, they can be gone for a
long time.
Next, S Scale America SD45s. It's looking better. We will be at the Amherst
show in West Springfield, MA next week and will have samples of its current
progress. I'll bring extra parts so folks can see how the different detail
variations are done.
Also, the toy box will have samples of the X29 in a couple different
variations. If the moon and the stars are in perfect alignment, there might be
a CGW version in there with a CRECO door as well. If it doesn't disappear, it
will be sent to Ken Zieska for inspection. Samples of the Fowler boxcar will be
shown as well. Jim Kindraka saw the Fowler progress here over the weekend and
I think he especially liked the Z bracing.
We will probably also bring a boatload of U-boats as well as the usual S Scale
America fare and some of our HO, N and O Scale junk as well.
More lies.... Some of you have had some detail parts on backorder for some
time. We have been rerunning parts and hope to be caught up in a month or two.
