What liveries are you planning for these?

Hi Dave,

Here is what we are currently thinking

Including the EMD demonstrators, 24 roads had FTs. Of those 24, Gaetan and I have already created sets for some of the railroads that had FTs. We will do those FTs first:

Gaetan is looking at a set including;

ATSF, C&NW, Great Northern, Rock Island & WP

I will offer three as 'bonuses'

B&M - B&M set bonus
NYO&W - Maybrook set bonus
LV - Lehigh Valley 1950's bonus

Any other FTs will be included in new sets for the other roads.

I can tell you on my side that a Reading set is already underway, and I'm considering a New York Central set #3 with the 20th Century Ltd, FTs, more freight cars and bay window cabooses. I also promised to do the demonstrator, don't know where I'll release it yet....

I gotta' hand to all you guys at BLW/ZT. Not too many people these days continue to produce quality commercial work for MSTS. And at a resonable price with bonus's thrown in.

Admittedly, I have only been able to purchase 7 different sets to date. Embarassed

. But when I am able, I always (well, most of the time) head over here to see what is tempting. Only problem is deciding which one next.

Keep up the great work-
Dave

PS- Will any of the FT's come with the drawbars? Rolling Eyes
