    We will wait until the convention have started to share with you at least one brand new Z scale item.
    Also, we will have GP30 and RDC prototypes to show. Yes, SP versions!
    Sincerely,

    Torsja,

    Let's get a bunch of guys together and hold Hans down while one makes off with all the goodies he brings with him.

    We will put new meaning to the term..."The Great Train Robbery"

    I am working my way west. In New York City preparing news announcements for Medford. News may have to be delivered using a Brinks armored car.
    Anyway, more autoracks are in the works. Probably not ready before October.
    See you in Medford.

    Yes Rob, you think so, but have you ever heard of a 'stunt double'?

    Actually, I have several bridges where I normally hang out doing troll duty. :eek:)

    Guys,

    Just got off the phone with Hans.

    Expect *MANY* announcements at the show. We have been hard at work over the last few months - time to raise the curtain on our efforts. Sorry I wont be there to see the look on everyone's face. Bummer for me. I expect quite a few smiles.

    Best,
