F3s are sorted and all paid orders have been pulled. We will release these to UPS on Friday, August 27th, our next work day.
Amtrak Cars will begin sorting on Friday. Cards will be charged over the weekend, Monday next week UPS tag printing, pulling orders and shipping again on Friday next week, September 3rd. It might take a few more work days to get all the Amtrak orders packed and shipped.That's the plan.
I will say this again... Thank you to those that came forward with your order payments. It really helps us to keep the wheels turning here and at the factory.
I just received sample models of the Krauss Maffei and C&O Hudsons. The SP Daylights and VGN Gondolas are in production now. Because of the extreme container costs, we will hold these projects at the factory until they are all ready to ship, probably in Nov/Dec. EA/E1s are going into production right after the KMs. 20th Century cars after the SP Daylights. Milwaukee Electric design is in process. I suspect the 2nd run Milwaukee cars will fit in early next year.
Cheers, and keep well.
Those boxes are the Viewliners and Extra Amfleet cars, 8 to a box. Behind are the 5 car Amfleet sets, and finally the F3s. This container was brand new. The floor was hardwood and pristine. The cost, $8000 + $2000 delivery. The previous container in April was $3000 delivered. Someone is raking us over the coals.
I promised a Pizza lunch on Monday for all the hard work.
Any chance of showing the C&O Hudson Sample??
