Greetings,
I spent some time this afternoon talking with Challenger about their
upcoming run of Zephyrs & 05's. As of today, the factory has been
unreceptive to increasing the order of 05's. That
might change, but doubtful. Delivery will be very tight. So be ready
if you're on the bubble.
Challenger has officially been notified by Samhongsa that the Zephyrs
are on the hot spot for manufacture, sooner
rather than later. Models will be shown at St. Louis for the NMRA
Convention. Shortly after the convention reservations will close on
them. Personal guess - delivery is before, or at, year end.
Here's what will be built:
1. Original Pioneer
2. Later modified Pioneer
3. Original Mark Twain Zephyr
4. Later Mark Twain Zephyr
5. Original Twin City Zephyr
6. Later modified Twin City Zephyr
There will be more information regarding the model differences coming
in the magazine ads and on their website.
When the info is released I will post it for all here. No pricing
information yet.
Spread the word.
