6/8 We will have both #718 and #733 in Yellow / Gray (only units in this scheme). We have chosen to do #724 in Orange / Black due to unusual color separation line on the engine - versions with the side sill Xs and without.
Division Point is close to delivery on their Fairbanks-Morse H10-44 and H12-44 engines. We are bringing in a very small run of Milwaukee Road units in 2 paint schemes: one in Orange / Black and the other in Yellow / Gray. These can be configured for DC or DCC (with sound) operation. A couple pieces are still available so contact us quickly to lock in yours

North Bank Line is looking at producing a run of log cars from Union Pacific. These unique cars were built from old GS gondolas in 1971. They were used extensively on the Camas Prairie Railroad and on other UP lines where logs were handled. Initial plans are to produce a run of 100 pieces. Suggested Retail would be around $679, exclusive of any tariff charge.
