In the early 70’s many railroads started to feel the excitement of the coming of the USA’s Bicentennial on July 4th 1976. Many locomotives, cabooses, and other rolling stock were painted to commemorate this occasion.
As a US based company, we want to celebrate these great paint schemes by offering a limited release model set each year in the month of July. These model releases will only be available as a professionally printed Instruction manual.
This year we have chosen the Southern Pacific’s Spirit of 1776 paint scheme on a GE U25B and an International Car Company Bay Window Caboose.
We are excited to offer or first kit with the option for art to be printed on the brick instead of a decal applied! There will be 12 sets of approximately 250 bricks available to pre-order. We will ship the printed brick with the instruction manual 4-6 weeks after the pre-order.
