3rd Rail Sunset SD7 / SD9

@jbmccormick posted:

I am interested in these engines.  I am a bit leary on what it said on the radius for 3 rail engines.  The site says "054 Curves, 072 Switches Track or Larger."  SD's

At nearly $800 an engine, I don't want to end up with a shelf queen.  My bigger concern is the 072 switches.  

Actually it says "3R (054 SIMPLE CURVES, 072 TURNOUTS AND SWITCHES)"  GP7/9

Any experience from prior runs?

From the previous run. My purchase has wheels, with a standard flange profile, not the large, pizza-cutter, flange familiar to O-gauge operators.

Mike, thank you for this.

I'm still waiting for @sdmann to add Burlington Northern scheme using the CB&Q body.

But than why is there no SD -7 RIO GRANDE

I had one reservation on the first run, but they where cancelled

Agree, too bad no new paint schemes are being added. I do want a red bird sd9, but I’m not about to paint a plastic model I want but not need.

Ditto.

Question:

How many of you CB&Q guys occasionally pull up the 3rd Rail website and see if they decided to offer the Q SD9 in red/gray this production run ??

(like I do).

How many people who are interested in this paint scheme have directly contacted Scott about adding it?  If enough people commit to ordering this paint scheme I would think it could be added.

I am on record for taking Jonathan’s advice.
