You get the latest provincial car yet Pete? Sask I think it is.. dave

[ginzokid]

Sask has not shown up yet from Caboose Hobbies. Slow mail! Anyone notice in the MT letter above that there is no Canadian Province series engine announcement, but the Navy series gets one? Canadians. Second class citizens again. B-)

[70novahound]

The State series got a caboose, and an A and a B engine. The series should be done before N scale collectors puts out another "nearly a state" car, so you Canucks better prepare to join so that you can get the "almost a province" series. The first one will be Quebec! CJ]:)

[jamajack]

CJ We already have the first one for Quebec and the second one for British Columbia and are waiting for the third which is Saskatchewan. They are slower than hell getting them up to us in Canada. Guy's have been selling the third one on eBay for about three weeks now and still we wait. Jack

[70novahound]

I was cracking a joke about Quebec and how Micro Trains will suck someone in for more money. They might even come out with a moose car, very limited production, and only available if you join the N Scale Collector's Club, and give your first born male child. It will be worth millions! Be the first in your territory to have one! CJ]:)

[dl85vette]

Pete, I could always paint up a Cdn loco for ya. Red ends with a maple leaf in the middle. ;) I'll paint up a WS or Preiser figure to represent a frenchman tied to the cow catcher. :^O dave

[70novahound]

Don't forget the moose antlers! CJ]:)

[ginzokid]

Dave, I have a Bachmann 2-8-0 Baldwin in CN livery. That's for the Province cars. And I don't want to dirty up my tracks with any French mustard........ CJ, I'm looking for N scale moose antlers for the shays. You have any? B-)

[70novahound]

I wish I did Dad, and if I find any, they will be on the way! CJ]:)

Received my Micro-News in the mail today. The Canadian series FT loco and the Yukon Territory are both out this month, June. There are also 2 CSX 89' auto racks, runner pack #3 & #4, CP and CB&Q and of course more cars. I'm surprised I received this news letter before June. Maybe they are mailing them out earlier now. B-)

[nascarpetlover]

Either that are the your post office goofed up and actually delivered current mail by accident. Lou

[ginzokid]

Mail delivered on time in Canada? Surely you jest Lou.

The new MT E-Letter of today says they are starting a new series based on the US Presidents to be issued in order I guess. The first is George of course in March. Along with the car will be a replica button from some uniform or something of the President's clothing. I think each issue is $24.95. Everybody jump on the bandwagon now! B-)
