Any word on what the rolling stock items will be 

[The Chaz Storm]

We will probably find out sometime next week.

Sure be nice if a guards van and a goods van were included

Any word on what the rolling stock items will be 

I have a feeling they might be for the HO range.

LXZGE2 Tidmouth Milk Tanker
LXZGE1 Sodor Fuel Tanker
LXZGE0 Coal wagon w/ load
LXZGE3 Cargo car

OK so in reality its:
ONE new tank car with 2 different paint jobs
and NO NEW CAR but a repaint of the exisitng Troublesome Truck
for the Coal and Cargo cars
Just so were clear

[Bucksco]

OK - It's one new tank car and a the existing troublesome truck with a NEW coal load.

[The Chaz Storm]

I saw the tankers coming, but I didn't expect the cargo car and the coal wagon with load to come.  I honestly expected to see a brake van be one of the rolling stock items...

OK - It's one new tank car and a the existing troublesome truck with a NEW coal load.

Dont get me wrong Jack, not griping, any new items are welcome, just defining whats being released so I know what projects to put on my "To Do" list, while waiting for the tanker and with other cars being new versions of the trucks I'll have to retro an LGB Boxcar from US 20' car back to stock LGB Toytrain Boxcar and then to British Profile goods van (or as near as I can get). Modify 2 Troublesome Trucks into flatcars, 2 TTs into covered goods wagons, and maybe one into a cattle van. So dont worry. looks like you'll be selling me a few more TTs in the coming months 

[Bucksco]

Vic,
I figured you would be happy that we saving you the trouble of removing the faces and providing a load...

[vic]

Wot! No faces? 

What am I going to sell on Ebay to fund the next purchases  

[vic]

OK serious question, is there any idea of a release date yet

Spring Summer next Xmas
