Two numbers for most:
NP patched BN,
CNJ red Coast Guard,
LV patched Conrail,
P&W patched D&H,
D&H blue dip,
Rio Grande late ph2,
Greenwich & Johnsville orange,
L&HR 7 and 8,
Susquehanna 101 and 104,
PC with worms only, and
Rock Island red/yellow with extra box on the long end (cab signal equipment?).
Price increase to $229.99 for DC and $329.99 for sound equipped, that's up $20 over recent runs save the hammerhead.

I wish Bowser would update the shipping schedule. The Lehigh Valley Hammerhead RS-3 was due in January (it's almost July now).

Some of the number fonts don't look quite right ... PC and CR patched LV, for two.

LHR units finally, hot nuts! Two numbers that were off the roster by my era! Gonna still buy them but damn, so close. #1 is really the only unit that should still be on the property in my era, at the end of it's life on the LHR it almost never left Warwick yard until finally leaving in November 70'

Looking at the LHR artwork on a real screen finally, I don't know about that font on the long hood. We'll see when a painted sample emerges. I have a lot more faith in Bowser than a lot of others.

Has anyone seen / received the L&N Black & Tan RS-3's? If you are talking about these? Example from the first run of L&N RS-3'sThey have come and gone. They have at least two more runs in L&N announced. The next, Phase III's in Gray and Yellow, are due in the stores in around 6 weeks. Following that, they have announced the ex-TC, exx-RDG RS-3's, also in Gray & Yellow. |

Always thought the L&HR RS3 scheme was one of the classiest. I'll be getting one or two.

The Atlas release L&HR used to command big money when they hit the used market, until around last fall I had a chance to grab one and they'd dropped off to about $120-ish. I presume these will sell fairly well. The CNJ should sell too. I will probably preorder those plus the D&H and a Greenwich & Johnsville, which AFAIK has never been done RTR.

I have the yellow & gray ones on the next run ordered along with the creamsicle Interstate units. Regards, Russ |

A few roads from the previous runs turned up as closeouts a couple weeks ago. Didn't see L&N but if they should turn up I'll mention it.

Wonder where the Hammerheads and D&H chopnoses are. Behind schedule.

The Canadian Pacific ones were suppose to arrive a month before the D&H chopnoses. No mention of those either...

I saw some July dates on hammerheads when I looked earlier. No idea how accurate they are. Bowser's latest update had listed June.
Hope to see some WM on those phase 2 units they're releasing. I looked at the artwork earlier to see if there'd be a good candidate for me painting a couple. Nothing with the right handrails unfortunately.

This was an announcement of new roadnames, so there's not going to be mention of ones already somewhere in the pipe.
They are somewhat behind, announced August 2022 for the hammerhead and November for the D&H chopnoses.

Gorgeous. I'm about to go to Bowser's website in hopes of seeing others.
starting about 10:57 a.m.
The others in this run are in fact shown as having arrived; all look splendid. The other numbers for CP Rail are 8430 and 8435.
Of special interest to me are D&H 4075 in a "blue dip" livery with stack for steam generator, silver trucks, plus B&M 1506 -- the other number is 1516 -- in maroon with black and yellow and silver trucks, indicating passenger service, but without the box for train lighting equipment.
Other liveries include CN olive & mustard, CP maroon and gray with yellow, with both "block" -- i.e. Roman -- and script road names, ONT dark green with yellopw and red, Interstate cream, gray & orange with silver trucks; Long Island/MTA blue 7 yellow, NP black & yellow with red, and SP&S 97 in its unique blue & white with red and black.

Oof. I'm in for a CP Rail. Looks like the winterization hatch isn't seated fully in the photo.

These engines are a run previous to the one this thread was made for. I did not preorder any so I can't check the date easily but they show as due 9/30/23 in the system. Assuming these continue to come in order of the stock number looks like D&H chopnoses are next. |
