Hi everyone, Most of you know that I have been out for the last year dealing with major health issues of my son and wife. More detail can be found over in the N-Scale forum. I am back though and have two new products that will be released in Sept or Oct for Z-Scale: 1) New Southern Pacific / Santa Fe Cantilevered Signal Bridge Designed to provide ultra prototypical details not previous seen on signal bridges. Separately applied Z-Bracing, Riveted Gusset Plates, See-Through Grate Decking. Kit includes all components for cantilevered bridge, signal heads (new design), detailed double or single headed masts. 1) New C&O, B&O or SOU Cantilevered Signal Bridge Designed to provide ultra prototypical details not previous seen on signal bridges. Separately applied X-Bracing, Riveted Gusset Plates, See-Through Grate Decking. Kit includes all components for cantilevered bridge, signal heads that will accommodate 1, 2 & 3 aspect targets.
Ron, Many of these types of signals are still in use today. They first started appearing in the 20's. Jeff, will do.
Hi Bob, This is good news on the new offerings. When can we expect to see availability on your offering from the past?
Bob, Both look great. You do really good work. Those Espee signal bridges will look on my modules. JamesTraction
I also will be releasing two new structures in Z: 3) 50ft Tankcar Loading Platform 4) Construction Trailer
Hi All, There has been little to no interest in these items. As a manufacturer, I have limited resources and wanted to find out if there is a desire for these products so I know what to produce. Are these products desirable? In advance, thank you.
Bob, the tank platforms were great! I have many. The deck, steps and railings are excellent detail. The bridge across was the wrong spacing, too wide, for Z scales 1" centers, so platforms swiped the cars. Trailer is a great addition.
I'm waiting for the items to show up on your order page before placing an order. Don't give up! jamestraction
I would love to get a construction trailer or two in z scale but saw only N and HO listed on your website Same for the "D" signals and the C&O / B&O Cantilevered Bridge.
Hi All, The quantity produced for each item is different. What is constant is that the justification point is after the second sheet. I was very hesitant on producing these items since there had been no comments (good or bad). Silence usually means no interest. With that said, I sent the artwork out today to make the photo-tools and the brass rolls have already been ordered to restart production. As a bonus, I have another new Z-Scale item: 5) 91ft Tapered Yard Light Tower
Wow, those look really good... I'll certainly buy some signals.. and the trailer. What would be fantastic, is if someone would make traffic lights in Z scale. To my knowledge, no one makes them. Cheers, Ajay
That tower is beautiful. How tall is it, and can you get me some appropriate lighting to go with it? I really do like it.
Thanks Bryan, 91ft would put the tower at 5in. Jim Hinds @ Richmond Controls is getting together a kit for N-Scale, give him a buzz and let him know that you will want one for Z too.
