Fine Brass Models
Photos of the pilot models are now up.
The SDP45's and the surprises missed their flight to Springfield. Thanks very much US Customs, feeling good about the taxes we pay. Anyway we will have photos of the SDP45's up this weekend. They have some unique features never seen before on a brass model (see through steps). Will also post photos of the SP and Rock Island Econonmy Baggage cars and the ACF 10-6 transcontinental pool sleepers. Sorry about the no show models this weekend..... sigh
Please stop by and visit our good friends Brian and Missy Marsh at the Overland Models booth during the upcoming Amherst Model Railroad show in Springfield, Massachusetts the weekend of January 30 and 31. They will be displaying UTI models and we should have production samples of the SDP45 for your review. There have been over 100 changes implemented on the models since the NMRA and SPHTS shows last year. Delivery is set for late February. We will also have pilot samples of our upcoming run of SP and Rock Island economy baggage cars and transcontinental pool sleepers.
We hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season with a safe and prosperous New Year. By now most of you have received your cars from our first passenger train project. We have had some very positive feedback, thank you! We have a few of the single cars remaining as well as a couple of sets. Please see your dealer before they are all gone. Our SDP45 project is on track for a February 2010 delivery and we are closing quantities before the end of the year. If you are interested in any of these models please see your dealer soon. There will be very few extras built and we don't exepect them to last long.

Thank you for your patience. As you know a number of our first project cars required a return trip to Korea for corrections to inter-car electrical connections and window shades. We are happy to report the cars were air shipped back from Korea yesterday (12/1) and are exepcted in Muncie, In. Thursday. They will be inspected and shipping to dealers should commence late this week and early next week. We are truly sorry for the delay. We trust you will be pleased with the results. We have a few of the single cars remaining as well as couple of each version of the sets. Please see your dealer before they are all gone.
We wish you all a very happy and safe Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year.
