Office Car Special Power!

July 30, 2014 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off on Office Car Special Power!

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.

What They Say:

Paul G.

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.

Joe W.

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!

As a retiree of the Walt Disney Company I look forward to upcoming releases of the Disney Family Museum and Disneyland series.  Keep up the excellent work!

Dan D.

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”.  And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks.  I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.

Jeff B.

Keep up setting the bar high and providing a product that exceeds expectations.

D.G.

Nothing better than receiving that white box from Lowell Smith.

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.

I want to be like you when I grow up!

G.D.

Lowell, thanks to you and your company SP&S modelers (myself included) are having a much easier time modeling the North Bank Road. Thank you for your hard work!

Rick S.

Every new release from your Signature Series gets me revved up for the rails.
