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.
4/30 NBL had confirmed that the B&O 'Old Maud' engine will be produced in this project. There are less than 20 reservatioins still open so get your reservation in soon!
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:
Division Point is finalizing and production of Fairbanks-Morse H10-44 and H12-44 engines. In conjunction with that project, BPL will be providing an exclusive set of Milwaukee Road versions. There will be 2 different paint schemes, Orange / Black and Yellow / Gray. Half of the units are now reserved, so contact us now to get yours.
