All,
I have received production stock for 2 of my projects in past week or so. I have the brass grab irons and PRR F33 flat car bodies here. Starting tomorrow I am shipping prepaid orders for them. While the current on hand stock is pretty much sold, I am giving a "last call" NOW for new orders before I retire these items. Again I have no intention of ever stocking any of my project items for long term "order it someday" sales. PRR F33 body While they arrived to me about a month later than I had hoped they are still shipping within 3 months of the project announcement. (It will actually be 2 months & 2 days!) I also did not wait until I got a minimum order quantity reserved either. It was a GO on project announcement. I was my intention to paint up a production body to "show off" how nice they are, but again all bodies on hand are sold. I can't assume all of them are going to be Oxide Red for the PRR. Attached is the photo of the test sample from August. The production bodies are BETTER. I currently have another batch on order. That quantity can be raised in needed. F33 decals They are GO! As of 15 minutes ago I place an order for a batch of custom F33 decals. They will be printed by Rail Graphics. ETA is probably in January. F33 brass details I have been waiting for production bodies to look at measuring and designing the brass detail parts. In the project announcement I said I would look at making the detail parts at 50 F33 bodies sold. We are not there yet to cover costs. The RP produced stuff is very expensive to make. I may reduce what I am making to just the complex stirrup steps. Buckeye Trucks Contact Fred Rouse to buy your Buckeye trucks for the F33. http://www.sscaleloco.com He has them in stock. Operators are standing by to take your order. Stirrup Steps Since 1 of the stirrup steps on my original tree design was very rarely used - almost for the SOO Line only - the tree got redesigned to became a more common useful right and left stirrup. They would likely be for just general modeling this was the way to go. See the attached screen shot of the new stirrup tree that will be sold. The master patterns are getting sent to my brass caster this week. Delivery of production trees is likely to be in February or March. Brass Grab Irons I currently have about 5 trees unsold. Pricing F33 urethane body & floor $40.00 F33 decals $5.00 Stirrup steps $15.00 per tree Brass Grab irons $10.00 per tree - 10 good grab irons are guaranteed. You will probably get more than 10 per tree. Shipping $8.00 per order flat rate via USPS without tracking and insurance. Further shipments of small items will be shipped no charge.
