    Hi Folks, we haven’t had an update in a while so he we go.

    The N scale C636 kits are behind in shipping. We intend on having all orders for these locomotive kits caught up by next week so if you don't have yours yet they will be arriving or mailing shortly. If you are waiting for your C636 order and would like an update please reach out to Chris at chrisd@briggsmanufacturingassociates.com

    There is an N scale C636 model design update - In talking to customers, and doing a little more research, the Atlas SD35 truck is only off by about 2 N scale inches on the center axle. We offer both the correct wheelbase with a gearbox and modified truck side frames without gearbox, to fit the Atlas trucks, which fit into the Atlas C630 frame with no modification.

    By default we are shipping the Atlas side frames variant, as every customer save for two have wanted this easier to build and source parts for option. The extra gear sets are almost impossible to source from Atlas at this time because of the China factory supply problems every manufacturer save for us is seeing.

    The N scale RS27 and RS36 models are almost ready to go. If anyone wants a different body version it's not a problem as we didn’t plan any versions that have less than 2 units. Production will start with the Pennsy, N&W, and NKP versions right away next week, as they were the most purchased. Other versions will go into production soon after. The part numbers below should go up on the website sometime next week. (Price $110 Canadian each)

    RS27
    NK59 ALCo Demo body version
    NK60 Chicago and North Western body version
    NK61 Pennsylvania version body version
    NK62 Soo Line body version

    RS36 $110 Canadian
    NK63 Delware and Hudson body version
    NK64 Nickel Plate Road body version
    NK65 Norfolk and Western body version

    Our HO Scale Hawker Siddley 52'6" welded gondolas, 52'6" Canadian riveted flat cars, and PGE/BCR 52'6" TOFC cars are coming in December/January so save you money HOers.

    Check back frequently for updates, pricing and variants will be announced shortly.

    Kind regards
    Chris Dittmar
