the J1e's that have been produced time and time again. There is something

PRR Passenger Cars:
There has been much discussion on the color of these cars. We are
working with members of the PRR Historical Society and will be using paint chips
that match PRR more closely. The actual color of these cars will be more red
than in the brochure photos. Currently under construction are the PRR P70
coaches, B60B baggage and R50 Reefer. We have adjusted the price on the R50
reefer to $249.95 ($50 reduction) as it does not have an interior or lighting
like the coach or baggage car. Look for these cars to be released in mid 2003.
New Project Announcements:
PRR Q-1 The "First Duplex":
With E.O.B. Cruise
A predecessor for the Q-2, T-1 and S-1 Duplexes, Baldwin demonstrated
their new Duplex to the amazement of PRR management. What an achievement. To
honor this great leap forward in steam engineering, 3rd Rail will reproduce the
Q-1 in 2 versions, Skirted (As Built) or Unskirted. Look for the Q-1 to be
released in the spring of 2003.
Berkshire Mania:With
E.O.B. Cruise
The reservations on these models are almost full. The B&M had these
T-1as for many years, but during the later part of WWII many were sold to the SP
and Santa Fe railroads. The most distinctive feature of these locomotive are the
Coffin Feedwater Heaters attached to the smoke box fronts. SP quickly
cannibalized the tenders and placed whale back tender tanks on the B&M tender
frames. Later both the SP and SF removed the Coffin Feedwater Heaters, but we
liked them so much we are producing the engines with these FWH in place. Look
for these Berks to arrive late 2003.

E.O.B. Cruise
B&O fans have been screaming for this powerful freight engine to run
with their EM-1s. The S-1a, with her distinctive lines and large tank tender
will thunder down your track. At $1099.95 with TMCC and Railsounds, Coil
Coupler, EOB Cruise and Puff n' Chuff II smoke, you will loose yourself into the
world of the B&O.
NYC Mohawk L3b:With
E.O.B. Cruise
With the completion of our NYC Niagara and NYC Hudson, we are ready
to put the Mohawk on the table. Weighing all the customer responses both in 2
and 3 rail, we have decided to make the L3b. The Mohawk is back.
