I agree. That TTI engine has my attention. I visited the TTI when their power was a Baldwin VO 1000 switcher and several U28Bs back in the 80s. |

Thanks! The factory says they will be ready to leave by the end of this month but my guess is mid-September. -Jason |

"We have the oil and the propane. It's an oily propane. A propaney oil. It's everything! This is a superduper propane oil tank car." ... Order yours today! Yeah that covers it.... That entire section, in case you couldn't tell, was entirely unscripted. We were laughing so hard I could hardly breathe by the end. Richard is one of my best friends. He is giving me a really hard time on the oil tank. I told him to pull the oil tank off his model... -Jason |

I'm just glad you have a Canadian expert who is just like certain New Haven experts we both might know.  Oh, and thanks for the NH reference of the revised 41-BNO trucks. They roll so well that I've replaced all my green "as delivered" 8600 coach trucks with the improved parlor trucks. These green cars were hauled by steam (Hudsons and Pacifics), and thus need all the help they can get to roll better. For my McGinnis coaches, I just add another FL9.  |

Great as always Jason! I am going to order a Ski Train.... just because!   heh.... who says "commuter trains" don't sell? They even called me to confirm it wasn't a typo for 32 NJ Transit Comet II coaches. Hoping this paves the way to more awesome commuter stuff from you guys. I saw on social media some were asking for a Comet IB coach/cab car, you can put me in for quite a few as well to push this along haha. Please keep up the good work! Quick question, will there be unnumbered cab cars in HO eventually (or a special order)? As two cabs is just not enough haha. -Martin |

These would look SHARP as well in Rapido's GE lineup.  |

Jason:
You show several dates for various items under the track our container section. Are those dates, e.g., B36-7's - October 15 (2019), the day they ship from China, the date they land at the port in North America or the day they arrive at Rapido?
Inquiring wallets want to know.
Regards,
Russ's Wallet - Future owner of 7 B36-7's
PS - That TTI unit is "Butta'"

If you haven't already done so you may want to check and see if it was put into a junk/spam folder, I had that happen with the previous newsletter.

gerald,
Good suggestion. For some reason, for the first time ever, it went directly into my spam folder. I am not sure why it did that this time, but these computers sometimes have a mind of their own. Now I know where to look if the newsletter does not show up in the future.
