When I come to the factory, I get first hand knowledge of what is happening, when and why. We are always adjusting the schedules based on orders, parts delivery and length of production. Here is the current schedule.

 

1. The SF El Capitan cars are almost done. They will be finished April 28th and promptly loaded on a container. We should have them for shipping out in late May. We have many stand by orders, so we are considering a short 2nd run to fill those orders. If you are interested in obtaining a 2nd run set, please email me. We think this is the finest aluminum set we have ever made. Each car has many brass castings inserted into the body. The windows are all poly carbonate, and very transparent. See our web site for pictures: http://www.goldengatedepot.com/reservation.html

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Scott, is the El Capitan project still on schedule?

 

If so, can I assume these cars are "on the water"?

 

With the ToT you posted a video of the finished product running on the test track in China.  Any chance that we will see the same for the El Cap?

Dang, looks like the whole gang is on to me.  That's okay, I was plenty thrilled last December when so many forum members were giving hourly updates of when and how the Big Boys where being delivered all over the Northern Hemisphere.

 

For us Santa Fe nuts, Christmas comes in May, or June, or... the sooner the better.

Believe me Jim I am very happy for your enjoyment... the sooner they ship yours out... the sooner they can start on mine..

Wowee!  Aren't we lucky: The Train of Tomorrow, The El Capitan,and The Zephyr all within 6 months time.  Each set is exquisite and almost beyond description.  At the start of my association with this forum I would have never given thoughts that we would have such products.  We have come a long way.  Congratulations to 3rd Rail and Atlas for these passenger sets.  What's next?

Enjoy the El Capitan you Fanta Fe fans.
