Office Car Special Power!

July 30, 2014 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off

Here is something different. I have set up to do a survey and would love to get your opinion. The Norfolk Southern’s Office Car Special has it’s own special power of F units. Running the complete train the units are run in A-B-B-A configuration. I have chosen the InterMountain Railway’s F7 for this as they produce a very nice F unit, and I am certain they will be beautiful, as well.

If you have interest in the latest offering, the ‘OCS Series’, I am sure you will want engines for your train. Please take a look. They will be produced in sets of A-B and there will be two sets offered. To make it more exciting, InterMountain is now going to offer these in the choice of analog (DC), or Digital (DCC), or Digital with sound… If you were to buy these, which would you choose?

I will save your response and send it back to you when reservations open up for these, although I am not sure if it will be in 2015, or the following year, because it depends on the interest level. Thanks for taking time to give feedback.

And as for your goal of 5 releases a year, I admire your ambition, but I won’t hold it against you if you fall short on that accomplishment. I’m just thrilled you’re doing such an AWESOME job of releasing this amazing train, and hope you don’t stop until it’s all done!

Just a quick note to acknowledge receipt of my AFT Tool Car. Thanks so much for another Outstanding Piece of Craftsmanship! The AFT is my most prized “N” Scale collection. I had perceived that there were delays in getting this last car into our hands, but thought it was a problem with China. Your letter…

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production. They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.
