It looks fantastic! Unfortunately I can't afford it.

We are making progress, shouldn't be too much longer before they start going out the door.

Quick update. You may have figured out that Emile and I are teaming up to work on these ourselves (from soup to nuts). Prices from the vendors we had planned to work with are too high and would have turned these trailers into a loss for the forum. I expect to be able to start shipping these out to members in the next 3 weeks. I do have several trailers partially completed, so some progress. The production line is ready, I am just waiting on some additional decals and then I will get the engine revving again. You may have noticed more decal projects on my plate, that was to get my decaling fingers warmed up.  Sorry for the delays but wanted to help everyone understand why. Thanks for your patience. I know it has been a long wait. |

Adam, thank you and Emile for picking up the ball to finish these cars and dealing with all the changes. Hopefully this will not discourage creation of more OGF cars in the future.

It certainly will not. In fact, since we are picking up the skills to do these in house it will make those much easier for us to execute on in the future. We wasted a bunch of time identifying who the venders were that PTC was working with and the prices, which we can skip (minus the actual model) in the future. We've got a few ideas in mind already.

Thanks Denny! I have 4 boxes (each with 8 flat cars and 16 trailers) to do. 1 box is done and box 2 is underway. Once they are all done, they will get shipped out. Side 1 for the trailers in box 2 is done.  Attachments:

Almost there! Working on the last batch (boxes 3 and 4 of 4), which is now 75% decaled. I usually only find time on weekends to work on them. Thank you again for your patience. These should be on their way to those who purchased by late June.  Attachments:

Decaling is DONE! Need to wait for a sunny dry day to give them a seal coat and then we pack them up and out the door!
Last mile!
