Here are some of the latest 3D CAD images for our locomotive kits.  As you know, we've had the frames, fuel tanks and detail part bundles in stock for over a year now.  Seeing them should give you some perspective on what the final kits for the hood will look like.  

The list of items needed to wrap up the SD40-2W kit is getting smaller.  The same process is going to be used to revamp our GP38-2 and GP40-2 hood modules, so you will see complete 3D CAD models for them as well.  Our plan is to release two different types of locomotive at a time.  

Also note that we have the second step for the drives almost finished.  This is the 3D CAD for the traction motors.  Once we have this done the side frames will be started and we can also define the final design for our gearing.  We have suppliers lined up for the decoder and motor arrangement so testing will be started quickly.  The intention is to release the HTC and Blomberg based drives at the same time.

The last two images are for our new stanchion kits, DP 6150.  They will also be included in the model kits.

Any support you can give on our products is going to help us out this summer.  I am working very hard to get the 3D CAD done for the full locomotive kits so we can get them into production ASAP.  Strong sales enables me to focus on this and not worrying how our loans will get paid.  

I am a bit behind on filling some recent orders, sorry about this, however they will start going out this week.  There is a restock shipping this week for some photo-etch and we will have another 200 GMDD Wide Cab kits in stock as well.  If you have any questions, give me a shout.

 

 

 

All the best,
