Expected delivery First Quarter 2002. No info yet on retail price or stock number(s). eNjoy Don B
Whoa does that look sweet! I can't wait to have three of these, with 10 superliners behind them and 6 AMTK roadrailers behind that blasting down the modules of my Ntrack club!! I also can't wait to get my hands on one of these to detail it!
Great looking Loco! Have they said anything about their Superliner cars yet. I have heard from Deluxe Innovations that they should have more roadrailers out 1st quarter or so next year... hopefully that means Amtrak ones also. I can't wait I am in the middle of building a new passenger station right now. I will save a spot for some modern passenger equipment in N-scale. FINALLY!!!!!!!
Speaking of roadrailers what is stopping Deluxe from offering some undecorated ones. I struck out on the first release of roadrailers. I only want to use them as 53' trailers on my Triple 53' flatcars. Maybe Deluxe is waiting to release their 53' All Purpose Spine Cars and a modified version of their 53' roadrailers (as trailers).

Brian, The reason I spoke with Deluxe was for that same matter. I want to do a couple of Shneider trailers for my BNSF TOFC trains. I spoke with George and he said they don't have a single trailer left. He did mention that after this first BN tractor trailer set they may be making others... ie Shneider, Warner etc... if they have good response on this first one. So the best I can say is be patient or be lucky on e-bay. I have been seeing a single trailer for sale with a end of train detector light for 27.00. Be a shame to pay that just to redo it. Good luck and if you find any let us know. Bryan
