Just received from Kato:

Dear Kato retailer,

Kato is working on putting together our full monthly announcement e-mails for you right now, but before that I wanted to make sure I sent out a notification about the HO GP35 models that will be shipping next February.

The deadline for Undecorated HO GP35 models is December 19^th! (Friday of next week)

By the end of the day on December 19^th we will be submitting our shipping order to Japan for ONLY AS MANY AS WE HAVE ORDERS FOR.

There will be No (zero, nada, none!) orders taken for HO Undec GP35’s after this date and we will not be getting any additional quantities!

To that end it is VERY important that if you or your customers want any of these HO Undec GP35 locomotives that you get your orders in to either Kato USA directly or to your distributor.

Let me know if you have any questions. I’ve attached last month’s HO GP35 product info and order sheet.

You must place an order for any of these products NOW if you want

GUARANTEED DELIVERY

PLEASE NOTE: Only orders placed by the reservation due date will be filled, as this is a special run. No extras are being produced.

Reservations Due By: December 18, 2014

Expected Release: February 2015
