SoundTraxx and Blackstone Models are now on Twitter! Look us up for announcements, news items and general hobby related items. Upcoming Shows:
We just finished up with the iHobby Expo in Cleveland. We had a great time catching up with many of our dealers and meeting up with a few new dealers. Over the weekend, we got to talk with many people, so thanks to those who came by.
Blackstone Models News:
We have started shipping out the Blackstone Models Chili Line Passenger Coach 3-packs this past week. These are still available, so it is not too late to place an order. These cars are painted in Pullman Green and equipped with the unique conductor’s bay window. They will look great on any HOn3 layout as these cars did find their way around the narrow gauge system. With the two Pullman Green coaches available individually, a passenger train can be built quickly with the addition of this limited edition 3-pack.
B350112 Chili Line 3-Pack, Nos. 284, 306, 320, Pullman Green MSRP $280.00
SoundTraxx Clinics:
We will be giving a clinic at Caboose Hobbies (500 South Broadway, www.caboosehobbies.com) in Denver at 10:30 a.m. on this Saturday, October 27. The presentation, “Prototypical Operation using Tsunami Decoders,” will cover the myriad of features built into the decoder that allows the decoder to easily be set up to match the prototype and execute a few prototypical operational scenarios using the Tsunami decoders. We will also have a few the pre-production samples of the new Blackstone Models run of C-19s and 2-8-0s to see.
We also will be giving this clinic at EngineHouse Services (2737 N. Packerland Dr., 2H, www.enginehouseservices.com) in Green Bay, Wisconsin at 6:30 p.m. on November 6.
If you are able to attend either one, be sure to come by and join in the fun!
