The CTCS is taking orders for their 2013 (35th annual) model.
For a picture and order information go to: CTCS 2013 MODEL.
You won't want to wait too long, the model will be limited to an issue of 175.

Dick, is there any way to know whether that car will fit onto O Gauge track?

Dick, I've not ordered their LE's before and the Terms & Conditions are a tad confusing in the area of $75 bank charges for "non-affiliated" Banks. Can I simply mail them a check written on a US Bank? I think I can but not totally sure. Thanks.

Yes you should be able to. Historically, US Brooklin dealers have also had access to CTCS annual issues after the show, thanks to distributor Brasilia Press.
I have purchased both ways with equal success, and in fact am expecting the 2012 model of the Mercury Meteor later this week.

They will accept a check on any US or Canadian bank.
The $75 fee applies to checks on a foreign bank that does not have US or Canadian affiliations.

Like J-W, I am curious about the railway guides. How will they do it? -link/pic-
Here is a Pontiac Hy-Rail inspection car: website

Thanks very much (just emailed him)!
I emailed him, so we should hopefully know pretty soon. Given that the York, PA Train Show is happening right now, if it DOES fit onto O Gauge track, I could give out some info to my Dad (who is there) and I guarantee that if they do fit onto O Gauge track, they'd sell out within a day.

We accept personal US cheques (in US funds) ... the bank charges are for some (a minority now in this electronic world) European and foreign banks that we incur costs for cashing. You will have no trouble if you have a US bank account.

AH!! .. should I say its a secret ??? ... well not really ...
there are some rail vehicles in Canada that have four rail guide plates that swing down from the undercarriage (one by each wheel) and slide along the inside of the rails to keep the vehicle wheels on the rail tops. When they reach the point of leaving the track, the plates snap up against the base of the vehicle so that they clear the road when the vehicle is being driven on the road.
We have supplied Brooklin with the details and they will be incorporating this feature into the model's baseplate.

That one, I would REALLY go for!

Thank you, kind sir. My order will be in the mail tomorrow.
