    Hello for those who are interested. I have been asked to come on board as design and project consultant for
    for SSM and GGD import projects mainly dealing with the O scale models that they are importing.

    I believe Charlie Duckworth was contacted as well.

    There most recent import was the MP and T&P E8 A units in the blue and gray, I really anticipated a very nice model
    but I have to say I was not happy. When I received it at first looks it comes across as well done. But sadly they missed the mark
    on some things by a mile. I can only say it was a lack of research for the prototype this is my opinion only. The models can be fixed
    to correct some of the errors, but not all So this is water over the dam and we move forward to another Offering.

    Asking the right people and having the correct data is the key factor here.

    So here is the next model In O scale due later this year. There will be the Mopac PA series 2 with the Farr grills, which was the second order
    built 1952. This version has never been done before and is a good one to choose . This will be detailed as delivered.

    Later in 2018 we will see the MP E6 AB 7002 -7003 with portholes. It is my hope we can see the E3’s and the AA 6 # 7100 at a future
    date down the road.

    Now here is how SS 3rd rail works for 2 rail models. It is by reservation only but the quantities that Scott Mann needs to make it work
    is 20 models per railroad or more. If he gets less he will not do it. So If you are interested go to there web site and place a reservation there is no deposit.

    Regards

    Bill, I’m happy to see you are on board as a consultant for Scott. I have the PA2, as well as an E6 A&B, reserved. Here are images of my MP E8 in 2R.
