Atlas Announcements LEAKED on Walthers.com

Ed I'll be there but I hope hes still not pissed about the "there will be a 6 axle GE engine" comment on Atlas several months ago.

I think I figured out the next project.... stay tuned

Pissed?  Come on, is there a bigger hole in the N scale six-axle locomotive market (save the SD40-2)?  Don't need a Harvard MBA to figure out the C40-8 will be a huge seller.

Nice Dan, now we all know that Cory was leaking information.  I'd be pissed too, if someone spilled the beans on me after I let them in on a secret, especially if my employer got mad at me...

Yawn. If they're gonna do a Diesel, they shoulda done an SW1500 - lots more roads used them... 

Where's Victor's Atlantic? ???

[Allentown Hump]

Well lets wait and see what Dan can get out of Cory this year. Maybe there's hope for a SD40-2 yet!

As for the Atlantic, I heard that someone was working on one, but it only had a 3-pole motor...

Oh dear, I was trying to cut down my spending this year.

I suspect 2 MP15DC and at least 3 8-40C will be coming my way. Bang goes the budget again!

Damn!  I quit modeling Conrail 8 years too soon!  Missed it by that much!

My fleet is nearing completion...  Maybe it's time to sell it all off return to my blue roots...  Nah.

Just get a couple and I will let you run them as run through power ..

Man this one is going to be expensive.

3 CSX MP15 and at least CSX 6 C40-8. luckily CSX only had 10 MP15, so this with the first release give me half the roster. ;D

[daniel_leavitt2000]

Oh it wasn't just me who got scolded...

[nscalesteve]

Trucks:  Most likely it will be the same truck as the SD7/9/35, with a new sideframe.

which perfectly fits into the Kato C30-7 drive mate...
(...which would mean that we finally have spare truck sideframes for our Kato U30C and C30-7)

Shite - there goes that $20 that I spent on my spectrum 8-40C! 

[Ryan87]

Hmmm... Some CNW & CPR Power this month better hide Mr Wallet.

On the Leak perhaps if this keeps up Atlas will have to go like Micro Trains and keep it to them selves until the day before.

Leak my ***!!!!

Look at the free publicity they are getting??? The excitment to see them at Springfield!

We're just the stooges here!
