Same here. Exciting!
Got the same update and date.
I thought I felt a little lighter when I got up this morning. After checking my email, I realized then that it was just my wallet that lost weight.
Mine will be here tomorrow

Yes. However, that "special treatment" comes with the loving added cost of CA. state sales tax. The government does not supply reach-around services either.
Doug is speciel alright, so special he rides one of these

Mine is scheduled for tomorrow, but since I'll be at work I'm going to have to run to the UPS depot to get it. And that cursed Sales Tax is ridiculous. Thank goodness I don't live in Los Angeles County where it's over 10%.
Now it's on to seeing if we can get SD40-2's produced in CNW.

That would actually be pretty cool to own. Lifted and 4 wheel drive. How do you like yours?
Yeah special alright. Almost an extra $80 per engine for the CA special delivery. I'll make sure someone is here to sign for them and get some photos out before I go to work.
I keep the short bus hidden from public view not sure where you found my ride.
It's so short it fits in my pocket
Ok guys, I'm more than willing to reship your locos to you to avoid paying the not so great state of California. Prolly cost you about $25 each instead of $80
California Emissions penalties get your every time. No waivers for SD9s. 
I've got a demonstrator and a Milwaukee Road on the way. Can't wait!

We play a lot of volleyball out here in So. Cal. You set one up over the center of the net and it's gonna get spiked. 
Just got a UPS notification. They're here. Will pick them up Friday morning and should have some photos Saturday. I'm seriously stoked!

Too many other things to do tonight so I don't have time to run them. I met the UPS guy in the garage and opened them right away. Back to holiday activities.
Nice looking unit you have there, Doug.
Looks good. I am glad about the inserts. As for the bladder issue, that's what they sell Depends for. Life's embarrassing moments.
Fantastic photos! 
I had to look twice to see if Eric took them.
WOW, fixed pilots pits you into a bladder emergency? You've got issues but you've also got nice trains
Nice! Tuesday can't get here fast enough.

Well duh!
BEAUTIFUL stuff Doug!
I can not wait till my Rio Grande set comes! Yahoo!
I think a little silver paint would make those headlight wires much less obvious but from what I see from here they look great
Yeah thats an easy touch up. Have to get the silver paint out for the glad hands on the mu hoses when I install the 2 rail pilots anyway.
Can't wait to get my grubby ten thumbs on mine Friday morning. I have a pair of MTH ScaleKing SD9's (old Premier Tooling) which I think I'm going to re-work into SD18's.
Which road name did you get Matt?
I got 2 CNW SD9's. I hop ethey have a "Route of the Streamliners" logo on them
with out logo's are you sending them back?
Nope, they don't have logos and I'm keeping em but I always hope they jazz it up with some of the nicer schemes
