Anyone know the status of the Intermountain U-18s? I check thier site regularly and still no photos of them or anything that looks promising. The release date has been pushed back a few times. It currently says may/june delivery.
Just getting getting itchy waiting for it to get here. I have one on order from when they where anounced.
Thanks

I have a couple of Intermountain freight cars, and the detailing is excellent. Any idea if they are coming out with Maine Central baby-boats, or at least if they’ll have unpainted U18B’s with Blomberg trucks?
We are waiting on several InterMountain products.
They say they are at the mercy of the “China factory.”
The CPR FP9s, for instance, which show on InterMountain’s web site as available have, as of Friday, still not been received by InterMountain. For some reason, IM has a policy of moving products onto the “available” list once the product’s projected arrival date passes – even if that product has not yet arrived!
You can try calling InterMountain directly but they probably can’t give you any more info than what is on their site.
BTW, this is not meant to disparage IM. It seems that ALL of the manufacturers who have their products made in China have this situation.
Sometimes I think there is just one big factory in China and everybody has to stand in line.
Sign of the times, I guess.
You are in luck. They are making a Maine Cent. U18. They have it listed on thier site. Also available are CSX, SCL, and P&W.
I dont care if they gotta pay the starving china man a penny a day less…Get me my engine. If its like anything else they are already here sitting in some port waiting shipment. then we will be flooded with them. I just cant believe there arent any other pictures on line of them. All I have ever founf is a picture of four shells from a show and a few pics of what I call an “Intermountain Demonstrator Unit” It had thier emblem on the side and painted in grey and red. Looked like it was a compleate model. From that picture it looks as if we are in for something nice. I would attach it but it is currently MIA…
I like have a few Intermointain cars but it seams like some of the other companies (Atlas and Athern) have upped thier cars detailing a bit and kept the price lowed than Intermountain. $25 for a detailed Intermountain car or 10-15 for an Atlas or Athern that “looks good enough to me” I take two Atlas’ please!
