Just a quick update on the business cars coming in soon North Bank Lines. The delivery has been delayed several times due to late detail and paint corrections. NBL was hoping to get a partial shipment in in February. They will have the bulk of the cars in hand any day now - excepting the CB&Q Roundup and the UP Selma which are still being reworked. Your patience is much appreciated.
With the fist run of business cars coming in soon North Bank Lines is putting together and new project. Planned to fill their pipeline after the second run of business cars is a collection of wood side cabooses. The initial grouping will cover: Western Pacific, Sacramento Northern, Tidewater Southern and Weyerhaesaur Timber Co.
Division Point has announced a new project - the production of several GN LW Trains. These will be the 'secondary' trains you have been looking for in the post war era of expanded passenger service and newer lightweight equipment. They will represent the following trains - let us know which of these are the candidate missing from your empire:
DP will is also planning to produce the correct EMD E unit engines for these trains. These will be done a psrt of the up coming E/F unit project and will be sold separately from the sets.
Division Point is making good progress on the GN / BN Cabooses. The project is moving along with pilot models being recently finished. We have extra pieces on order, so let us know what you would like before they are spoken for. (image shows X-310, the X7 and the X-181)
North Bank Lines is hard at work on their first run of business cars. Hopefully we will see these by the end of the year.
With the solid reception from the first group, NBL has issued a listing for a second batch of business cars. These will be a new set of cars with selected prototypes for D&RGW, EP&SW, GN, SP and WP. Please check the listings for planned versions and let us know if there are any you would like to reserve.
10/15/2021 NBL has added two cars to this project, including the GN A-22 with a Packard automobile. Please check the listings and get your reservation in soon.
