Dear Folks,
I am here at the factory checking out the E8/E9 production. I tried to adjust quantities of each road to accommodate our standby customers, but they are too far along to make any changes to production. They will be finished in 25 days.
But they are quickly moving forward to make our EMD F7 Second run and have agreed to make as many E8 or E9s for our stand by customers if the orders are presented by May 15th. So any new orders for E8/E9s will be fulfilled in a short run in June, with a delivery in July or August.
The first run of E8s will arrive May 21st. If you want to get any of these fine scale models go to our web site and put in a reservation for them. You will get a notice that they are marked "Yes" Standby and we will try to have them made for you as described above. If you are short on cash at the time, we have a layaway program for you. Our biggest concern is getting the models you want in your hands. If we have to wait a little bit, that's OK.
See the review by Bill "Lefty" on the 2 Rail Forum.
