Shipping Update!

September 24, 2014 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off on Shipping Update!

There’s so much happening!  What shall I tell you about first?  When I open a boxed shipment from one of the manufacturers I use, it really is like Christmas!  After hours of design, tweaking the art, and matching colors, the end product is such a joy to behold!  Today I received the much anticipated Rio Grande business cars for my Executive Line Series.  Wow!  I cannot wait for you to see these cars.  These cars are just stunning!  Can I say that?  I followed the Rio Grande’s paint scheme and how beautiful it is.  The #102 and #107 will look great on any layout, even if it is only visiting your rail line.  My challenge right now is getting the time to get these beauties on their way to you.

The Great American Circus & Wild West Show’s ‘clown bus on flat car’ started shipping last week and I need to complete it this week before I can process the Rio Grande cars.  And, I just received notice that the American Fruit Packer’s Northern Line car is ready just in time for the fall harvest season, so I need to quit writing and start packing!  It has been awhile since my last blog, though, so I wanted to include you in this excitement.

How about I leave you with a bonus?  Here is a video of the Great American Circus & Wild West Show running east bound through Oregon’s Blue Mountains.  Enjoy and please tell me how you liked it.

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.

What a trip! We had a great time- exceeded our expectations by a mile. The Silver Lariat was simply stunning. A gem on the rails. The scenery and weather were perfect. The delays were not an issue for us at all. All just a good days work on the railroad! Thank you for all the…
