I have just came back from another GREAT Springfield train show!

I did spent a lot of time with DAN and MIKE from RAPIDO TRAINS aswell with JEFF from Prairie Shadows.

I got my first taste of what will be the N scale GMD-1 and was able to get shots of it on my winter scene layout.
The engine looks wonderfull !!
I can't wait to see them in action on my own home layout.
They should be in production in fall...
We would then be able to get ours in time for Christmas.

JEFF has showed me is gondolas aswell is bulkhead flat cars...
Trully amazing détails !!
The bulkheads are very nice with all the etched metal ladders and grab irons.
All equipped with body mounted MICRO-TRAINS couplers and METAL wheels.
Great runner cars, true canadian looking cars again !!

By the way, did you get your POINTE-ST-CHARLES cabooses ??
Only 2000 were produced, so get your fast !
Accurate, MTs couplers, metal wheels to pick up courant from the track to lite the interior and the red markers on each corners.

Another good year for ACCURATE canadian N scale stuff !!

I got some other stuff from Jeff, at Prairie Shadows...

I did received some of his gondolas and bulkhead flat cars.
All are running on metal wheels and are equipped with body mounted Micro-Trains couplers.
Very reliable, excellent runners, accurate...
And they have some CP Rail gondolas aswell

Jeff has told me he was working on some other projects.
I will see, hopefully, what he has in mind at Springfield in some weeks from now.

I did ordered a third and fourth batch of cabooses as my first 2 run already are sold out !
He also ran out of the "white" caboose, the safety one...
