Congratulatons Shane, on your new grandchild. The "Road Trip" promotion is way cool and demonstrates a lot of "out of the box" thinking by the Scale Trains team! I noticed there was no mention in your video of your release of the S Scale "S-Helper Service" rolling stock, so wonder if this was overlooked in your 2023 recap remarks? Hoping we will see more S Scale rolling stock and either re-issues of S Scale locomotives or possibly some new models. Best wishes for a safe and prosperous 2024 for the Scale Trains team!

[@Scaletrains]

Thanks for the congrats. We'll likely announce a few more freight cars from the S-Helper line in 2024. Shane

Happy new year scaletrains! Over the months, I’ve been working with some of your locomotives at a near by hobby club. After a while I decided to buy my own units and they have been astonishing! No running issues great sounds I love the lights! So take this as a thank you and I hope to see what’s next to come!

Thank you for all the beautiful models, the help from your service team, Marlen, who helped me with my orders, questions and always answered promptly. I wish you all Happy New Year!

[@jimmyseaver3647]

In regards to fantasy units, I think the idea of GP60Ms and/or B40-8Ws in Conrail colors would be neat. They had a high-priority coast-to-coast intermodal service they operated in conjunction with the Santa Fe (the QNYLA train), and my reasoning is them doing it for marketing, pushing the idea that common equipment is being used all the way across the country to attract additional shippers. In addition, the split of Conrail may have been delayed to the mid-2000s in this scenario, enabling them to purchase equipment they may not otherwise have.

[@greyfoxtrains3244]

I am an O-Scale modeler. At the same time, I find it great that companies like ScaleTrains are doing well and furthering the hobby. This hobby only becomes better when companies reinvest and build great models. I wish you the best in 2024!

Please do an N Scale run of the Rio Grande SD40T-2's. The HO models are absolutely incredible, and I know a few modelers who would buy N versions of that particular locomotive. I myself would purchase every single road number with DCC/Sound in a heartbeat. You guys are absolutely fantastic, and I hope you guys have plans in the future for N scale versions of Steam as well. Thank You for making such awesome models.

Thanks for your purchase. We're sorry the transition between hot and cold temperatures caused the etched metal part to expand and contract thus popping off the screen. When it comes to fine grilles, we've instructed our factory to place a small amount of glue on these fine see-through parts. Using too much glue would cause the glue to ooze and be visible through the screens which would be unsightly. Grilles can easily be reattached with tiny amount of canopy glue applied with a needle, straight pin, or toothpick.
