Division Point has announced a new project to produce SP 4-8-8-2 cab forward engines.   With the help of Dr. Bob Church these models are expected to be the finest ever produced. There will be 3 engine numbers available for each class, and all will be in the “Post War” paint scheme with the Silver panel on the cab front. All the models will feature the large rectangular 220-R-2 tender. Models will be available Lettered with the Large “Southern Pacific” on the tender sides or in Black (Late) livery.  The ESU V5 decoders will be using the latest sound files to give you the true experience of hearing these engines as they were in prototype. The lighting will include Headlight, backup light, front and rear markers, stack light, firebox flicker, train indicator and number board lights.  Boo-Rim will be the manufacturer on this build, with a target minimum radius of 30 inches (if possible.)

North Bank Lines has provided a Fall 2018 newsletter with the following notes:

There are a few minor updates to the steel caboose project.   There are about 250 reservations, so the cuttoff for the builder will be coming up soon.  If there are any pieces you would like, please let us know soon.

The SP P-12 project is very short on reservations and may be canceled.  If you would like one of these unique Pacifics, or know someone interested, please let them know so we can help move this forward.

The other projects are still in the early planning stages (CB&Q/GN/NP 2-6-6-2s, WP 2-6-6-2s, SP 4-8-0s) with revised announcement pages expected in the future.

Oct 15, 2018  Sale is done - thanks for all who participipated.   Summer is progressing very nicely.  Like you, we're outside, not paying too much attention to the trains at the moment.  This is the perfect time for a SALE!   For an undetermined time we will provide an unknown discount for your purchase.  This will be a sale full of rumor and innuendo.  Just let us know what you would like and make an offer - we might be able to do that, or we might not.  You never know until you try.  (however, no layaways, payment will have to be in full - does not apply to previously reserved or requested models.)  (I know, we did this last year, but you folks liked it, so...)

Division Point has provided an updated list for the next run of Alco RS Diesels project.  There are some adjustments, additions and model number changes.  They are moving quickly to production, so please review the listings and let us know of there is anything which you would like to get on reserve.
