Does anyone know when these engines will be shipped? What is their status?

Last I heard it is looking like a February delivery. Scott has been sending me questions about last minute detail issues so the project should be wrapping up production soon.

Great news !!! I’ll even give it an extra month as nothing Ever goes according to plan/schedule. I’ve three on order so this info allows me to plan/ budget my own pre-delivery payment schedule so as to have them “paid off” at delivery time !!!!
Cheers !!!

Can you share what the final count was for number of different roads? Somewhere 40-50? Lots of details to QC for sure !!!!!!!!!!

You could be right as shipping take a month PLUS there is the China Holiday for the whole month of January. Bottom Line, Im looking forward to my Torpedo GP7
and GP9s. Its the Quality not the Quantity!
I emailed Scott Wednesday asking the same thing, hes claims February/March delivery.
The pandemic is slowing things down,

I don't remember the exact count but it there was a lot of overlap on GP7 vs. GP9. It was at least 35 plus as I recall though. The design matrix on this was a bit complex, but not any more so than the SD7/9. Looking forward to my GP7Ps in CNJ. :-)

You and me both. I have a combine and two coaches that have been waiting a long time for an accurate diesel to pull them.
They are at Sunset Models.
They made very limited numbers.
There were only 3 Grand Trunk Western GP9 locos produced.
Three numbers.
That is an extremely limited edition.

Good news. Thanks for posting this. The wait will soon be over.Looking forward to ACL and Seaboard.
Did any of you read the last page of "Hey Scott GP7/GP9" on this site?

It's true. I emailed him yesterday on another matter and I got a response in a couple of hours. Wow!
I wish I would have had the money in the train fund for one of these. You guys are lucky!
Scott
Can you share ?
What was the final count of Roads ? Which roads/models didn’t make the production cut ?
Got an email over the weekend, they are coming to a town near you!

For those that paid in advance for starters.

Jonathan,
Did you guys do the GP9's as the phase 2 only? I was actually going to send you an Email to ask if the phase 3's with the 48" pantop fans were made or if they would be possible as an option for a 2nd run? For guys like me who like the NKP, they had 3 different versions of GP9's. It would be fantastic to get the ph2, ph2 Passenger / torpedo boat and later ph3 all from the same builder with the same decoder.
Regards
