What ever happened to the Spectrum D&S NG fire car that was announced a year or more ago?  I had one ordered --W&I Trains--  or did something happen to W&I Trains?  Phones in new Garden Railways seem to be disconnected.

So---bottom, line is--Where can I get one of these cars?

My last conversation with W&I seemed to have the cars in Philly--

Thanks--

Hi Glenn
I thought I heard the car  may have finally come out, but W&I Trains has definitely closed their doors, you could try calling Robbie at RLD Hobbies, he will know.   Or call Trainworld.

Wade, what have you heard?  Yardmaster any news? 

Anyone confirm the status of the car.

Forgot to mention that the Car is not Spectrum, but part of the Standard line.

Good news! The D&S "Fire Suppression" Tank Care, Item No. 93471 in our standard line, should be arriving in our warehouse next week.  Enjoy!

Dear All,

Here is a previous thread on the subject from about 7 months ago, including some 1:1 photos.

Thanks, Bill.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

OK--thanks--if it is "standard " I may wait to see it--gj

I just ordered one online from Wholesale Trains. I'll let you know if and when I get it.

Thanks--I am assuming that the dealer I had one ordered thru  (W&I Trains) is no longer in business--they do have an ad in new Garden Railways--but phones appear to be disconnected. 

Does anyone have stock numbers for this car?

Thanks--I guess I will have to find another supplier--gj

Wade Colyer

I just checked Wholesale Trains web page. Now the estimated delivery is May 30th and the price went up a little. I guess us 1:22.5 guys are low priorty.

Loco Bill Canelos

Wade, I would wait and check the TRrainworld price before buying.  Bill
