Customer Q&A: 

Q: "Could we see an union pacific #1616 in the future in ho scale?" – Derek on Facebook

A: At this point in time, no—mainly because we do not have any tooling for that locomotive type.

Q: "Any smaller N scale steam coming down the line? Particular 2-8-0s, which seem to be a common request. Its been months since we've had any news." – Jaelon on Facebook

A: We have several N scale steam ideas on our radar, but right now we’re focusing on the N scale Santa Fe 3751 and UP Late Challengers.

Q: "When will there be an HO Scale CB&Q steam engine produced?" – Dave on Facebook

A: We have several CB&Q prototype ideas on our radar. It will most likely be a few years before we decide to move forward with one.

Q: "Are you guys going to restock the Paragon 4 sp gs-4" – Luke on Facebook

A: Yes, we do plan to announce a second production run of the SP GS-4s later this year.

Q: "And any update on the Allegheny and Santa Fe 2-10-10-2 in HO scale?" – Tiger on Facebook

A: At this time, we do not have plans for the Allegheny. The Santa Fe 2-10-10-2 is still in development, but we don’t have a timeline for an announcement yet.

Q: "What is the selection process to pick a new model? After we submit one in the portal what happens?" – Jude on Facebook

A: Each year, we plan which models we want to build for the following 1–2 years, including re-runs and new products. We closely monitor the product suggestion portal—if we see a suggestion being submitted frequently, we move it up the list.

Q: "When will we hear about the next Conductor's Club locomotive?" – Daniel on Facebook

A: We’re working on the plans for next year’s club locomotive! However, we’re not quite ready to tease what it is just yet.

Q: "Do you have any plans for more small steam locomotives?" – Espen on Facebook

A: Yes, we definitely have plans for more small steam locomotives! We can’t share details yet, but there are some exciting prototypes in the works.

Q: "Are the N scale 3751 locomotives still coming in 2026 or are the tariffs changing the plans?" – Robert on Facebook

A: Yes, the N scale 3751 locomotives are still coming! They’re still slated for 2026. We’re expecting some tooling samples in the next few months.

Q: "Are you planning to add anymore diesel models in diecast with smoke? Like ES44’s or Dash 9’s or sd40-2’s, etc.?" – Josh on Facebook

A: Given the positive feedback we’ve received on the diecast SD70ACes, yes—we are looking into the possibility of building more diecast diesels. We haven’t decided which models yet, but it’s definitely something on our radar.

Q: "How about a N&W M class like Strasburg 475?" – Tim on Facebook

A: The N&W M class is on our radar! We don’t have a timeline to share yet, but it’s definitely a model we’d love to build in the future.

Q: "Is there any progress on PRR S-1?" – Richard on Facebook

A: The designs are complete! We’re now waiting on our first sample for evaluation. Models in our Brass-Hybrid line typically take longer to build, since the tenders and boilers are hand-crafted. The factory currently working on this project is finishing up the UP "Bullmoose," which is due to arrive this winter.

Q: "Any update on the unstreamlined CNW E Class Pacific?" – Alexander on Facebook

A: We are finalizing those designs now and hope to have an announcement later this year or early next year. No firm timeline just yet.

Q: "Will you be making more of the UP business fleet?" – siksean_2727 on Instagram

A: Yes! We plan to make more of the special cars that haven’t been readily available in HO scale. N scalers can also look forward to seeing UP Business Cars that we've offered in HO.

Q: Those new Montana Rail Link SD45’s look awesome! Can we expect more MRL power soon? Like a new run of GP35’s? – chase_engley on Instagram

A: We're glad you like them! We’ll definitely consider more MRL power for future production runs.

Q: "My emd e8/e9s that are stuck on the boat. Are those gonna hit land anytime soon?" – dime_buildz on Instagram

A: We’re hoping they arrive sometime in June, with expected delivery to dealers in July—assuming everything clears customs smoothly.

Q: "Any possibility of BL getting in the O market?" – trainbros89 on Instagram

A: We don’t have any plans to enter the O scale market at this time.
