getting ready for Amherst/Springfield

Springfield is our big show for the year. It’s great fun and packed with great layouts. It’s also very costly to exhibit at and is a crucial show for us. This year we will be introducing a new product and it’s the first time we will have the critter DVD’s there. The new disk that we will be announcing and taking orders for is called “First street“  It’s a commercial city block and a total knock out. At least 8 kits, most with interiors plus awnings and signs. Is it worth the $39? NO! it’s worth over $90 sold as individual kits. At the show it will be $35.

We will have an O scale diorama at the show, showing 6 of the kits. Those who purchase advance copies, will be able to down load the kits from our website and then will receive the DVD a couple of weeks later. We are just waiting on a couple of test builds so we can add the photography to the disk.

So whats on the DVD?

The coal vender, beautiful painted brick signs, concrete bins, scale and coal loader w/interior. reproduction of a real building.

Skippy’s hot dogs. wierdly cool w/interior. reproduction of a real building.

Rudy Co printing. 2 story brick, side walk up, water tank, interior.

Hoosier mama’s pies, A 3 story brown stone bakery. Ghost signs, interior, reproduction of a real building.

Harvy hobby’s, a wood commercial store front with wood frame insulbrick rear, interior, reproduction of a real building.

Habbaker’s garage, A design from John Kosma. Re engineered and re textured by us. A large commercial garage with a second floor office. A great roof line.

And to anchor the block, A classic White Castle’s hamburgers, in either white brick or enamel sheet metal.

This is the best collection yet.

Sorry for the blatent sales pitch.

[John Humes]

GeeWizzz, I forgot tomention in my first post, Yep, hold one for me.:))

[Dave]

There are pictures of the kits and various tests all through the blog. Check out pages 5, 8, 10, 22, 24.
Central camera is a flat and I wasn't going to include it on the disk. i think what I'm going to do is offer it as a bonus for people who order advanced copy's. advanced orders should be up in a few days.

[ED Boulton]

You can add me to this list

[Dave]

great to know you are all pleased. I have to say this disk is really a good one.

[JDuv]

I will see you at the Amherst train show on the 29th....will you have any of the new cd's for sale at the show....If so sign me up for a copy too....See you at the show.

[Brent]

Absolutely NEED the new disk ASAP so please be sure to sign me up as well. Best of luck at the show - it's three timezones away from me so I won't be there, dang it!

[Dave]

No worries Brent. We'll get you one as soon as we can. If you want to purchase in advance we will send you the kits that are ready and send out the disk when it's ready. My bro is putting up a button to purchase very soon.
Anyone who buys before the actual disk is released will get a bonus kit that is not on the disk "Central camera"

Thom,

I keep checking the web site for that button to place the order but gosh, I just can not find it. HELP!

John

[Dave]

Thanks John. We are a bit swamped with prep for Amherst but I promise there will be a button and a great deal attached to it.
I appreciate your and everyone's enthusiasm.

Thom,

You can put my name on the list, as well. I always look forward to your creations and the fun of building, sometimes bashing, then detailing your wonderful models.

I will be comparing the white castle model to the one just up the street from the Amherst train show...It is the only White castle I know of in Massachusetts.

[Dave]

The disk is live,

As I've mentioned before, If you place an order now (or before the end of the Springfield show) Not only will we email any of the kits you want but we will also send "Central camera" as a bonus.
Thank you all for your support.
