| 7-6 17:54:43 | rvn2001 | I understand, Doug....but you know me. |
| 7-6 17:54:13 | DAZed | the spare parts aren't to customize, just purely for road numbers |
| 7-6 17:54:06 | rvn2001 |
...and you could make one mistake, John...  |
| 7-6 17:53:46 | soccrdad30 | Right, at the same time... |
| 7-6 17:53:38 | rvn2001 | True. |
| 7-6 17:53:29 | soccrdad30 | that would be a cool idea Thom |
| 7-6 17:53:16 | DAZed | the spare parts are simply to facilitate multiple road numbers. But you still have to buy additional locos if you want to have multiple locos. |
| 7-6 17:52:14 | rvn2001 | You should be able to customize the spare parts too. |
| 7-6 17:52:11 | ejshelton | Just went through here. Didn't make it.... |
| 7-6 17:51:30 | soccrdad30 | To me... the options are a great idea, why buy separate locos, when all you have to do is interchange the parts |
| 7-6 17:51:26 | Guba | Big Boy rolling through my area tomorrow |
| 7-6 17:49:39 | rvn2001 | Rob K indicated that it was a work-around for their minimum pricing. |
| 7-6 17:49:11 | GNFan | Interesting dichotomy: expensive, modern high-speed passenger train and customizable, cheaper steam locomotive in the coversation. |
| 7-6 17:48:43 | soccrdad30 | Thom, the options are the cool part. No one has done that before. |
| 7-6 17:47:18 | GNFan | The TGVs aren't cheap. Very good looking, and they run well (they'd better, for the price). |
| 7-6 17:46:59 | soccrdad30 | there is not too many Z scale suppliers any more |
| 7-6 17:46:19 | ejshelton | I guess I need to do more looking around |
| 7-6 17:45:44 | rvn2001 | Yup, I've seen them there and on ZTrack's Facebook page. |
| 7-6 17:45:30 | soccrdad30 | SRP is 308.00 |
| 7-6 17:45:03 | soccrdad30 | Thom, Anthony has them at the top of his home page |
| 7-6 17:44:55 | Guba | I'll pass on the new release |
| 7-6 17:44:07 | rvn2001 | I think they're ZTrack exclusives. It's a mechanism with one set of cab and front boiler front end and 2 additional options for both. |
| 7-6 17:43:54 | soccrdad30 | That is interesting, I wonder how the Azar Z is selling |
| 7-6 17:43:45 | ejshelton | I haven't seen them but I'm not on all sites |
| 7-6 17:43:06 | GNFan | Steve E., is regional (PNW), yes. He is, last I checked, the only Azar (French TGV) US dealer. |
| 7-6 17:43:00 | soccrdad30 | I think Rob posted some pics aswell as Anthony |
| 7-6 17:42:39 | soccrdad30 |
 |
| 7-6 17:42:20 | ejshelton | I hadn't seen them yet.....but I expect if they're at the national I'll be hauled over to look. |
| 7-6 17:41:29 | rvn2001 | I'll need to hear that the side-rods stay on. It's also more expensive than I want to spend. |
| 7-6 17:41:16 | soccrdad30 | so this Steve is a local or regional seller |
| 7-6 17:40:17 | soccrdad30 | I think Rokuhan is releasing two RR's and interesting interchangeable parts for different types of locomotives |
| 7-6 17:40:17 | GNFan | Yes, Thom, different Steve. I don't believe Steve has any YouTube videos, at least not related to MRR. |
| 7-6 17:39:14 | soccrdad30 | I have not seen any of his layouts... I don't think |
| 7-6 17:38:56 | rvn2001 | So...how many of you have pre-ordered the new Rokuhan 0-6-0? |
| 7-6 17:38:26 | GNFan | The layouts are his specialty - 8 x 10 layouts using the smallest radius Rokuhan curves, sold with controller and "Shorty" locomotive to complete the set. But he sells track (larger radii, and/or longer straights), Shorty shells, etc., too. |
| 7-6 17:36:01 | soccrdad30 |
oh, a different 'Steve', man am I losing it...  |
| 7-6 17:35:14 | soccrdad30 | I must have seen most of his videos |
| 7-6 17:35:09 | rvn2001 | Not the same "Steve", John....right, Mike? |
| 7-6 17:34:44 | soccrdad30 | ah, I did not know that |
| 7-6 17:34:29 | GNFan | He mostly sells at shows. |
| 7-6 17:34:03 | soccrdad30 | so he sells Z too? |
| 7-6 17:33:35 | soccrdad30 | oh, I thought that guy only did youtube videos |
| 7-6 17:33:16 | GNFan |
Hi, *Joe*.  |
| 7-6 17:32:54 | GNFan | "Steve's Z Layouts" |
| 7-6 17:32:48 | Guba | LOL |
| 7-6 17:32:28 | soccrdad30 | apologies, brain fart... Joe |
| 7-6 17:32:21 | ejshelton | Hi Joe |
| 7-6 17:32:15 | Guba | Hi everyone |
| 7-6 17:32:08 | soccrdad30 | what business doe Steve Eichman have? |
| 7-6 17:31:54 | rvn2001 | Hi Joe. |
