Does anyone know how long either the D&H or PRR airslides lasted in those schemes? Would they still be found like that in the early '70s?

Thanks for posting- while I don't need any from the current announcemnt....I discovered on their website that I can still (if the info is correct) order an original ATSF Ga-93 version (apparently due to arrive in Feb 23) -   I somehow missed the one I wanted when the GA-93 version was originally announced in Sept. 2021.

Is the Genisis branding a first in N?  Seems like more unique details and stuff.

N scale get 2 while HO get 7 pfffft.
At least they put N Scale back on their website    on the banner.

Here's a PRR car in 89:

But... the paint scheme they're doing isn't that. It's the shadow scheme and a GACX car.

If I remember the article I ready about that GACX stuff that was painted PRR correctly, those cars went away pretty quickly though.

So basically, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  sorry.

QRGY cars were common on Conrail in the 1990's....

It looks like the FP45 & F45 have been pushed out - TBD.

That will be my fault - I actually pre-ordered an FP45. I should have known better!!

Are the FMC cars original Athearn tooling or redone MDC/Roundhouse?

Interesting, now showing in stock F45’s/FP45’s at Athearn and MBK. I ordered two war bonnets and a Milwaukee Road.
