Next locomotive project  – We are now looking to ascertain what locomotive from our “Future Projects” page will garner the necessary interest to secure its position as our next project. If you have not already placed a suggestion with us, or if you would like to ‘vote’ for one of the more popular models closer to the top of the list, please email and let us know.

 

These models will be built to satisfy even the most discerning O Scaler. Careful attention to every detail, the smoothest, most powerful drive system available and a prototypical constant lighting system that will revolutionize the way locomotive lighting should be done into the future.

Locomotives will be built to the reservations received. We will be offering all versions of the SD40-2 (and family of locomotives) with the below list of details. Pictures and additional information will be posted as they become available.

We will be offering these road names, listed here by model (see prototype pictures of these paint schemes under the “models” section in the menu bar above soon):

The SD40-2 project is now in the development stages and pilot models have been produced. At present (as of 10/28/19), the offerings below are all available for reservation. At some point during the G.O.D. process, this list will be thinned and the road names and locomotive types that have no reservations will be stricken from this list. The road names and locomotive types in green are already sufficiently supported for production and are also still available for reserve. The names in yellow require more support and anything in red has no reservations as of yet.
