Larry Sr.

Definitely an outstanding looking lay out.

Thanks for the great pictures.

Larry

$4,100.00 my goodness.

I have one from the last MTH catalog still under my train table in the shipping carton.

Might be time to  sell that one since I have two.

Kinda crazy price

Larry

Impressive.

I think your correct on the Challengers Chuck.

I do think the new SD70 line was sought after considerably from all the talk I have heard anyway.

I'm thankful I received my GB 41 and the UP 9096. I still have my fingers crossed for the Military  one due March .    

And good luck with your Big Boy Yard Train.  It's  a very nice engine.

In reference to the SD line for me anyway I was very surprised  of  the cancellation of both the funeral train flag cars. That kinda derailed the whole train I was attempting to make.

That Clinchfield Challenger cancellation really really makes me  have to contain myself.

I don't know how all you guys and gals feel.

But, I been watching the MTH shipping all along .......I know , don't laugh, and all along they change the dates lala lala and it's latest is this month February delevery.

I have a considerable amount of MTH Rail King One Gauge with DCS.  Including ordering 3 other engines beside the Clinchfield, and 10 cars from this catalog,

To me it's very disappointing that MTH did this last catalog then FAILED  to deliver so many items to customers.

I certainly don't blame Mike for retiring, for whatever reasons, however this catalog should never have been introduced in the manner it was.

Larry

PS My opinion only!!

I received mine about two weeks ago. Can't show anything more than it's still in shipping  carton .

Also along side  the Upgraded Freedom Train  engine from Ray and the most recent Big Boy .

I'm going to play in the winter.

Larry

Appreciate the information Mark.

Larry

Nice work Ray!

Sure wish you were closer to the East.lol 

I would like to see mine function like that one some day.

Larry

Nice work Jerry ,  and I certainly like the way you did the complete layout with raising it off the ground. My knees hurt automatically when I see it.lol

Larry

Nice looking engine Jerry.

The layout really looks great as well.

I have my complete smoke sound upgrade new GS Freedom engine and the 5 cars from Ray but no time to run them yet. 

Summer been overly busy with one son coming back from 3rd tour in middle east . Last one thank goodness.

I'm actually looking forward to winter and my trip to York. lol

Larry

Good pictures. Thanks .

All good news.

Chuck, yes expensive. lol

A Clinchfield no less in the new catalog

Ray any word on the 2017 GS-4 getting to your shop? There starting to show up

Larry

In addition to Rays suggestion I also used the split jaw products. the clamps are very good quality.

In addition to his source Only Trains.com is another excellent source.

Excellent presentation, thanks for sharing it Bob. Very well detailed.

Larry

Thanks for the info.

Larry

Hi Ray

Still no information or even a hint on the GS-4 American Freedom engines some of us are waiting on from the 2017 catalog?

Larry

yoakam

Yes, nice work.

Larry

Dave just information for you.

I know Ray will let us know as soon as those engines hit land.

I have one on ordered from him,

I'm also anxious to get the Engine that goes with  the 5 Freedom Train cars he has already sent me.

For what it's worth , the last time I looked at MTH shipping schedule it's arrival is this month.

Larry

Very impressive Jerry. Nice job.

Larry

Nicely done guys.

Merry Christmas.

Larry

Ray

Very glad the thing was good to go and you took the initiative to fool with it.

Thanks

Larry
