Mss CarNow be careful because we've been waiting for this for a long time, but, I've had an e-mail from Mss today. It's not long so here is a copy of the e-mail.Dear Mr Johns Please find attached a jpeg of the prototype car. We have 80% of the car produced with just the combustion to be sorted. Hopefully should be available end of August. As you are a collector of our products i have also attached a picture of a limited addition Locomotive and our new Log wagon. MSS And here is another pic of the car.

Oh I like that Manx.
I hope they keep it nut and bolt construction. It looks in perspective, well balanced. I think that will do well mate.

Steamyjim,
The new loco is not new. I's the old one with a new sticker on the side and I'm fairly sure the log trailer has been around awhile. In my view, the best site for the Mss range is not their own webpages but the shop PPS. Have a look on this site and you can find all the Mss locos together. http://www.pps-steam-models.co.uk/ |

The one with the spark-arrestor
I think the log wagons new as they dont have one on PPS- just a flat wagon. They also say in the email the log wagons new
Could you put the pics of the log wagon up please? Anyone noticed the other loco bit yet? |
||
| Manxman |
Ok. Pic of the 'new' loco and the log wagon.
|
||
| steamyjim |
The log wagons brand new.
The loco came out a few months ago Not to keen on the logs on that wagon. Id put my own on or maybe use some steel tube

The log wagon is missing the little side bits that the mamod ones have. I don't like the logs either, but then the mamod ones are also rubbish. What is wrong with using wood?
The little car looks fantastic though! |

Loco's colour doesn't grab my eye
Log wagon looks ok....although it looks like they've chopped legs off a dinning room table

That's a cute little go-buggy. I like the rear mounted boiler.
MSRP puts it near $400CAD though....

Out of my budget too, but it is nice to have something to dream about. | ||
