I visited N SCALE SUPPLY's website today and there was an announcement that Intermountain is doing FT A/Bs and they will be released in the Spring of 2001. Anyone heard any scuttlebut about these new locos?
Yep, old news. But thanks for reminding those who need them, I hear Kato is doing them too. Just what we need, more Bulldogs! At least it's a real classic this time. The FT was the Diesel that killed the Steamers.

WOOPS! That's what I ment, Micro-Trains NOT Kato! Just a slip of the keyboard! ------------------ Brent Tidaback, Member #234 BNSF Railfan-to-the Max and a N-Scaler to boot! "Ship it on the Route of The Roadrunners!" The Aransas Odessa & Western, a division of the BNSF
Hope that MICRO-TRAINS does a good of a job with the FT's as they do with the cars they produce. MT could give KATO, ATLAS, a run for the money. After diesels maybe STEAM!!! I can wish can't I? ------------------ Let's Go Run Trains MARK
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>After diesels maybe STEAM!!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Micro-Trains has already produced steam in two scales. They've done Southern Pacific steam in Z scale and Colorado & Southern steam in Nn3. Both those engines went for a few hundred dollars, so I'm not waiting for $200 Micro-Trains diesels. I'll stick with the Intermountain models, thank you. ------------------ Brian Schmidt railohio@hotmail.com ICQ #21630753 AIM - railohio
Both MT & Intermountain are making the FT's. Intermountains are scheduled for early 2001 and MT's are set for late 2001.
ive heard from a good source--intermtn will be able to produce the shell---they have no idea how or where to get the mechanism at this time-- microtrains will be out b4 intermtn completes their fts
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> The FT was the Diesel that killed the Steamers. [/B]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeh the FT's came on strong but they sure need alot of help from steam. Steam pulled them in from the line when they broke down and helped them over the mountains. I lash up steam to E8 and FT's to get a nice effect. I could use some good running FT's. ....Eddie ------------------ Eddie Delozier PRR N-scale www.deloziers.com eddelozier@yahoo.com
