SMR NEWS FLASH
(Updated 09/01/09)

1.  New Reservation Policy for Future Releases!

In order to better determine the interest in a particular model, SMR is starting a new policy to allow customers to indicate their interest in a new model prior to a formal preorder announcement.

How it works:
SMR will post an announcement on the web site for new models prior to actually contracting them with our builders. Details of the offering and an estimated price will be indicated. Interested customers will be encouraged sign up for the model without a deposit. Once enough people have signed up, we will contract to have the models made. At which point delivery will be in about 12-18 months and the normal preorder process will begin. Those who signed up will be asked for the appropriate deposit.

The first four projects to be available for reservation are:

  • B&O "William Mason" 4-4-0 in various versions

  • Union & Confederate Railroad Engines

  • W&A "Yonah" 4-4-0 (1862)

  • The "Golden Spike" Special 2-Engine Set (CPRR "Jupiter" and UPRR "119")
  • Check out our Prospective Future Model page here (reservation page coming soon)


    2.  Virginia & Truckee Baldwin Mogul is here (and going fast)!

    SMR's models of the V&T's Baldwin 2-6-0 freight engines are here. But quantities are limited and your chance of getting the one you want is going fast. If you are interested in a "Truckee" (#19), contact SMR regarding availability. Check them out here!


    3.  V&T Caboose/Passenger Car #9 and Ore Cars

    The V&T Caboose and the ore cars are about to hit the water. Delivery is about 1 October. Less than half remain available in all versions. Preorder yours now here!


    4.  PRR D6 and D6a Locomotives

    SMR's newest project, the Pennsylvania Railroad's high-speed express engines of the 1880s is under full development with a prototype expected by the end of the year. Preorders for these sleek speedsters of the Victorian Era are now being accepted. Reserve yours today.. Check them out and preorder now here!


    5.  PRR PD-Series Passenger Cars and OD-Series Combine

    Matching PD series passenger cars and an OD combine for SMR's D6/D6a models are being produced for delivery a few months after the locomotives. These cars feature complete interiors! Sold in two-car sets of either two coaches or one coach and one combine, quantities will be very limited. Preorder now to ensure you get the ones you want!


    6.  2-Rail "GENERAL" Conversions

    SMR's first locomotive model was the famous W&A locomotive GENERAL. At that time, we produced 25 2-Rail and 152 3-Rail models. The 2-Rail models sold out immediately but SMR received many availability inquiries. With the remaining numbers of GENERAL models dwindling rapidly, we shipped just 18 pieces of our 3-rail models back to our original builder in Korea for FULL FACTORY CONVERSION to 2-rail. This consists of all new wheels, new wiring, insulation, weights and several other. Our U.S. craftsman will be assembling new real wood fuel loads as well! At this writing, only six of these engines are still available. When they're gone, they're gone! Reserve your 2-rail GENERAL here!


    7.  "GENERAL" and "TEXAS" 3-Rail Sets

    SMR has just one special matching low serial number pair of the original GENERAL and the TEXAS still available (3-Rail only, Serial #6). If you are interested taking advantage of this unique, one-time opportunity to acquire this set, please order it here!

    8.  3-Rail "GENERAL" Almost Sold Out

    The headline says it all. The only two 3-rail GENERALs are still in open stock and the one more is offered as a special set (see above) .

    9.  "TEXAS" Sold Out

    There are no TEXAS models available except the single 3-rail model being sold as part of a matched pair (above).

    10.  A Very Special Set - Very Special Savings!

    SMR assembled just three very special Central Pacific "Transcontinental Work Train" sets. These sets, one 2-rail and two 3-rail, consisted of a CPRR "Atlantic" 4-4-0 locomotive, one Boxcar and two Flatcars. The freight cars are provided with special custom, hand-made freight loads, including one of rails and tie loads for the flatcars. Only one 3-rail set remains and is priced at just $1949.95, a savings of $300! If you are considering purchasing this great set, please write.
