Athearn announces the GP40-2L and GP40-2W

[lock4244]

I'm not excited... crestfallen more than anything else.

And you folks are all excited about this development in HO scale because...???

It's a cult... the GP40 thing... they have a secret password and a decoder ring...I hear their initiation involves some weird Canuck stuff...........wait a minute........

You're a CP guy, Pud... you can't understand 

And the GP40-2L came a year too late for you.

What about the US roads that bought them used, or does the pixie dust wear off after a while?

Honestly, I am happy to see manufacturers putting money into tooling for these models regardless of scale.  Good karma is not scale dependent- I'm hoping some of the GP-40W love will jump to n scale and the pork chops as well.  A year ago, everything CN needed kitbashing or resin kits...

You know Pud, I shot one on a CP 923 about 15 years ago in the HLCX purple/blue scheme at Port Hope. A Huron Central one more recently. They do come over to the dark side now and again.

Brian, I would never, ever put Pud through that kind of torture. Heres a link to some dancing girls to ease Pud's suffering

Except in the lighting department. Really wish Athearn would switch to LEDs already....

x2. I've already had bulbs burn out in my Gp15. And it only has about 5 hours of run time...

I would also like to see these released in N scale.  I would expect there to be a market for those in the CN and GO schemes and then, after their resale, regional schemes.
