End of November and still no Pere Marquette Rolling Stock

Well we are still waiting. Here it is the end of November. I should have most of the cars by now and not one single car has arrived at Mountain Town Hobbies. The only car that should be still outstanding is the 3 10-6 sleeper cars they are due the end of December. The Locomotives are due in March. As per a trusted source:

"The ship dates on Pere Marquette-theme C&O passenger cars have slipped again.

The Baggage and RPO-Bagage are now projected for Dec. 28, and the rest of the
cars are projected for Jan. 28. They're having the same problems getting stuff
from their suppliers in China as most other model RR manufacturers.

The samples Walthers showed at TrainFest earlier this month were very nice. The
coaches have the distinctive aluminum window frames painted on, which the
previous C&O coaches they ran didn't."

If all goes well I may have my Alco PA and PB locomotives by Chanukkah that would help with the pain of waiting for the Pere Marquette train. If I am lucky enough to get the PA-B units that would complete the New York Central passenger train I have been putting together over the past few years.

Happy Chanukkah to all

Happy Thanksgiving

Best wishes to all my friends on this holiday season from the Freedman Family

The Additional car coming in December and The Locomotives in March

December I am scheduled to receive the 10-6 Sleeper Car

I have 3 on order. considering the delays so far I am not sure when they will arrive. The story so far is there is a delay in manufacturing in China.

In March of 2013 the Locomotives are due to arrive.

God only knows when they will get here.

Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Pere Marquette passenger train by Walthers.
