Teaser: Preproduction ‘Tiger Stripe’ RS-3

November 10, 2013 / Erin Smith /
Lowell Smith RS 3 SP&SIt is just like Christmas when a production run arrives here!  The moment of opening the box, and gazing for the first time, a train that was probably thought of years before and took at least a year to produce. It is very exciting for me and I hope you feel the same way.

 

That is what happened last week with the “Columbia Belle” fruit car and later this week, I hope to see the 2013 Christmas car I did for the Walt Disney Family Museum.

 

Sometimes I get preproduction samples to approve or modify. That is the case of this preproduction image of my ‘tiger stripe’ RS-3 from Atlas. These are expected close to the end of the year.  I thought it would be nice to share this with you just to get the juices going!

I am speechless!  The AFT Showcase car is everything I hoped it would be; and more.

Every aspect of the trip was professionally done.  You and Barbara were on top of every change and your matter-of-fact assurances speak highly of your professionalism.  Jo Ann is a retired chef  and we know what good food is, and the meals provided on the CZ trip were stellar! BRAVO to you and Barbara for…

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.

G.P.

I just received the “The Great Locomotive Chase” set from the Walt Disney Family Museum. Very nicely done!

The thing I love about all the things you do is the fact that everything is so well thought out, so beautiful and so unique.

Lowell, I am very pleased with the N Scale Ferdinand Magellan Presidential car. As a retired US Secret Service agent I have conducted security advances for the president and his family traveling by train. I have done a lot of research on the Ferdinand Magellan and the model has excellent detail. It will be an…
