My guess is that it's Jason!  Advertising design fits in with his previous font choices.  Oh, and by now, Craig should be up to using topless girls.

"Blueprint for Excellence".......................it's gotta be IM ::)

That is great!

Totally wrong, I'm sure (hope) but funny as hell.

It's a pretty safe bet from the comments from certain folks on various forums that it's Athearn.  I didn't notice if they still had coke bottles on the F45's but I seem to think not.  (guess the Coca-Cola licensing deal ran out?  :D )  That was the reason I never purchased any Athearn SD-series locos so if they've fixed that the Gevo's might be pretty nice.
NOTE: I'm no longer active on this forum.   If you need to contact me, use the e-mail address (or visit the website link) attached to this username.  Thanks.

If it's BLMA, that's a big leap from cars to loco mechs. But then why the hell not, got to start somewhere!

Craig's young and with a "Why not" attitude. So you couldn't necessarily count him out. But I don't no if any of the newer boys have he financing and cash to tool up for a major loco release. Many like the dark horse's but I'll have to put my money on a major. IM just announced a new loco. Kato just released one that leaves the 2 A's. Yeah, the ad is not really something you kight see from one of the more established companies, but these are extraordinary times and building a little buzz can only help........as long as you follow thru. If it's BLJ/PCT or Dapole, the GEVO fans are screwed!

Oh please let it be IM.  That way I can pre-order and by the time it ships, I'll not only be working again, but I'll be preparing for retirement and able to do something with it.

I bet it's PCM. The delivery will make you wish IM was doing them  :P

IMO, the teaser ad is weak. Kato would be the best choice, but they tend to announce their models, not tease about them.

Lately Kato also announces about a week before the container hits Long Beach...  I highly doubt it's them.  My guess would be Athearn. That would make it on-time, decent running, well detailed and reasonably priced.  John let me play with his new SD-70M, and it's a beautiful model.  I'd put my money on Athearn.. oh wait... I don't have any!

Hey, here's a scoop....

They're from Hallmark!   They come complete with hangers for your Christmas Tree and will be available in gift boxes, along with the exclusive Santa's North Pole Station and miniature carolling train engineers at a Hallmark store near you.

It is Atlas' 60th Anniversary and I'm sure Tom Haedrach plans something special...and maybe a little tease about it if Paul gets to participate. Then. perhaps Victor's Atlantic for Christmas!!

Speaking of Christmas tree ornaments. Maybe it's Micro-Trains.
