What's New
North Bank Lines has providfed an updated announcement on their 2-6-6-2 project. The good news is that they will be doing a smaller run count, which would provide for better closure of the project. The bad news is that this will impact the pricing. Given the latest update, the suggested retail will be around $5,000 - note that this does not include any tariff charge. As with all projects, we will be able to offer a discount for early ordering and some pre-payment. Models included will be:
- NP Z class #3004 and #3005;
- GN L-1 class #1907 and 1914;
- CB&Q T-1 class #4005;
- WP 201 Class #203;
- WP 206 class #207
NOTE: This project previously included the B&O Old Maud engine - that is not planned in this current grouping.
