GMD SW1200RS Locomotives
Dear HO Scale Customers, we realize many of you have been asking [us] when specific Trueline Trains items will be released. We talked to Darren @ Trueline Trains yesterday and he has given us an updated schedule for the delivery of the next 5 projects. The SW1200's will arrive at Trueline Trains in May 2016.
Trueline Trains apologized for the delays, but in order to produce product properly it sometimes takes longer than anticipated. [several other items as well, such as the sudden drop of the US dollar, non-paying customers and delays in china]
We should also point out (without going into details) that Darren, the owner over at Trueline Trains has had other personal and family related issues to deal with, which are of greater importance than model trains. I'm sure many of our customers realize family and health come first. This is not to forego many business obstacles that have been presented over the last 2 years. Darren is very open about most of this and has welcomed people to contact him by email ([email protected]) or phone 905-738-6556 if they have any further questions.

This model is new from the rails up. The SW1200RS is not simply a new body on an old chassis. TrueLine Trains' new drive system incorporates several alloy pieces to increase the weight and thus the pulling power.
The new chassis, powered by the same motor from the MP40-3C locomotive will out pull many DCC switchers. The SW1200RS approximate weight is 327 grams (approx 11.5 oz) with DCC installed.
Limited Models Available
Expected Release: May 2016
