Just ordered 4 BNs to add to my TTXs. I guess I really need to pick up a modern AZL loco. F3s just don't look right pulling a stack train!
I ordered 3 myself, as well as a couple of those Pacemaker cars. I have 7 of the TT ones already, and I suspect MT will release another paintscheme in the coming months after talking to Joe D'Amato at the NMRA convention about how fast they sold out.
Yikes. Another freight car that I NEED. At this rate, my Z scale fleet will eclipse my O-scale fleet!
Hey Hemi, you got to save your shekels now, because next year is the year of Z Scale! We will be getting a GP-35 from MT, and plastic SD70 and 75's from AZL. Might even have the MT turnouts by then too! Consider starting a Z Bend Module, (or converting your wife's layout to that standard) as that is the standard that's catching on now. Some girls in the midwest started a Z Bend club, and several of us out here in the SF Bay Area are starting one now. Everyone who likes N secretly likes Z too, but just don't like the minimal selection. Z is now, where N was in 1990, and just think of what you can do with all the extra layout space.
Update: I just got my BN Husky's, and boy are they nice! Heavy cast metal frame, nicely executed. These things would run well, in a long train. Nw, if only I had 4 BN SD40-2's and another 50 of these cars......
I just got mine in today. Now I have 7 TT and 7 BN. I think I'm going to paint a couple of the TT in that nice Conrail Blue scheme, and a couple BN in BNSF for variety.
By the way, a guy on the Yahoo z_scale group is selling decals for the containers, as well as Z Scale FRED's
