Subject: XXXXXXXX- NEWS FROM FOX VALLEY MODELS Just in from FOX VALLEY MODELS: SHIPPINGSCHEDULE: The HO AM and V&OBoxcars, N Milw Rd 50' Boxcars and N Milw Rd Cabooses have been received andare starting to ship. The GP60's will arrive next month and are expected tostart shipping in mid Sep. Mike
If the Hiawatha loco and cars gets pushed out one more month I think I am going to cancel it. I ordered it because they are neat and there was nothing us scheduled to arrive on its original delivery so I had an open budget. I just checked and I ordered it on April 29th, 2012. That is over a year and a half from the Oct/Nov scheduled delivery date. Good way to kill a spur of the moment purchase.
Mike, did you mean to link that to the eBay ad for the UP Coal hopper? I happen to have a few of those, and could go for more. Love me some Fox Valley!
I wish I could claim ignorance, but last Jan/Feb I had 18 months worth of pre-orders get shipped in a couple of bunches. Fun opening boxes, opening envelopes with the bill, not so much fun. Now I only pre-order Burlington items. I also like Kato's new model of 90 day notice but it is going to be produced!
Darn. Those all sold out quickly. The most used in the Lines West areas, were the single door version for grain, and also those with lumber loading hatch on the end.
