Railflyer Model Prototypes products

Railflyer Model Prototypes, a relatively new company (well compared to the usual ones anyway) focusses on making diesel detailing parts and in the very near future complete locomotive kits, has just released the following message. I can tell from pictures etc I've seen that their products look very promising, and are extremely well detailed and prototypical correct.
Here's their latest news. 


Hello,

We received some new test shots for the Clean Air Room Bases and Stanchions this week, images can be found on their website/blog. At this point the tooling on the Clean Air Room bases is almost finished, a bit more to do the stanchions but both are in pretty good shape. At this point we're sending another 30% deposit on each to start the final phases of tooling to get them production ready.

The Clean Air Room Bases are MK 5000 and MK 5001. They are a plastic base that works with our Clean Air Room Sides to give you an extremely accurate replica that matches the unit you want to build. Our initial batch of sides have also gone to our supplier and will be available soon.

MK 5000 works for the GP35, GP38, GP39, GP40, GP15-1, GP38-2, GP39-2 (Including Late Phases), GP40-2, and GP50.

MK 5001 is good for the SD38, SD39, SD40, SD45, SD38-2, SD40-2, and SD45-2.

The sides are MK 5002 – 5014. They are multi-layer photo-etched kits with door latch and cab step detail included.

Our speakers, SK-8701 will be here this coming week. They are 16.5MM X 47MM X 7MM and sound amazing with great clarity and no “Tin” like noise.

We also have restocks on photo-etch, and a new revision in our GMDD SD Dash 2 Tread-plates arriving soon.

Don't forget we completely restocked our Ditch Lights and received our new Salem Filters this summer. The new SMD LED's have also been moving well.

So the main point of this update is that we need a very strong sales push over the next two weeks. We have firm quotes on our new Fans (GP9 – SD70), two Hoods (GP38-2/SD38-2, GP40/40-2, SD40/40-2), and four Dynamic Brake Options. With this information in hand we are approaching a lender but we'll need to cover 25% of the cost ourselves. The help now gets the first complete hood options our for our kits and ensures the arrival of these projects in the next few months. After we get the hoods ready to go, the next aim is the Spartan Cabs and Drive/Trucks along with more details.

Anything you guys can do for us is greatly appreciated, we're trying very hard to get the best possible product out ASAP.

All the best,
