Good news is that it's an F unit... so unless China puts a die on backward, they shouldn't be turds (otherwise known as the material used for IMs EMDs hood units)

Dagnabbit, I quick ran off to the IMRC website, figuring the new stuff would be on there, especially since they updated it Feb. 8th...No luck,no update.  >:(

I have had an IHB boxcar on order with Chulvis since August 2007. Last month is showed due to be shipped in March. Of course in January it showed to be in shipped in February. It's over a year late, IIRC.  ::)

  Ok! That means Rapido trains (not the old Arnold) will have their N scale version first right after their HO and their Armeican Flyer Osgood Bradley Coaches. Yes folks C&NW did have them , they traded in FT's and the trucks and other components were re used, these were the last passenger diesels the road recieved before they began converting locos to head end power locos for commuter service. Hey Arnold Rapido (crapido) actally offered their FP-9 in that road as did Atlas with their Rocco loco wich had the huge oversized number boards. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.

Too bad they didn't announce these a few years ago. With a tough economy and the Canadian dollar sinking back down to $0.77 - $0.78 against the USD, even at a discount these things won't be very affordable for Hosers. I'll have to be very selective here in terms of which ones I buy (if any). I already passed on the Rapido passenger cars due to cost... that was a tough decision.

That's hilarious, Mike...
Now tell me, when you take your trains to an N trak meet, do you carry it in a violin case?

Perhaps Amtrak never had any (they did have FP7s though)
