Click here:  Model Railroader report

No surprises (aside from what was announced/leaked over this past week) other than some new buildings from Woodland Scenics.

Lots of cool stuff. Glad to see some Oregon Roads being offered (even if they are HO  :().

I do find the pricing to be interesting. Some HO is as expensive as some O scale, some N as much as HO, etc. Also, the MT passenger cars are almost half of what the new Bachmann cars are. I realize that the prices given are "just" manufacturer's retail, but still...?

Were the separate coaches from Bachmann previously announced?  That surprised me.

Also, the ESU Android throttle looks intriguing.  It has a physical dial and buttons, but would tie into Wi-Throttle?  Cool.

Its been rumored for some time now... still no prototype known and I suspect that there isn't one.  What is interesting is the Budd baggage, coach and observation car that they say are coming... while the baggage and coach may be Santa Fe prototypes the observation car is a complete foobie, though at least a starting place for modeling similar NYC observation cars.

I was also wondering about prototypes for these...if the baggage is 85', it certainly isn't a Santa Fe prototype, although the window arrangement would suggest one.
