Well, folks, the National Train Show is this week. I wonder what we are to expect from our favorite companies, such as Kato, Athearn, and Altas. Im excited to see the new Tower 55 [if they have any]. Their SD70ACe with sound... NTS @ PSX2004 was awesome last year. It was cool to be one of the first people to see the Athearn SD45T-2. Too bad its not in Seattle again, but i guess other cities should have it too All I have to say is GO TO NTS IF YOU CAN!!!
Athearn did a 'teaser' email about a week ago, you might well see the MP15 and SD45-2, the other teaser in there from Athearn was the SD38 (another RPP reworking presumably) - Which would be a cool addition. They also hinted at further new announcements. My **guess** would be an SD40 or SD45 based on the RPP shells and SD38 chassis. Would be nice to see some decorated samples of some of the other upcoming items, Atlas B23-7 and Trainman cars maybe? Lots of cool stuff around...I look forward to hearing what's coming next
