If they did and AS-616 I think I would drop dead from the shock to the system.

I thought that was Bachmann territory...  Hmm...

I've never been much for mainland European steam, but English steam is quite attractive to my eye.

#notjustACS... LOL.  I can just picture the corporate communications from Kato HQ over the weekend: "We sent you to Portland to create buzz, not kill it, you *&*^%^%!"  Get out there and get back on message!"  Now they're coming over to educate them in person.   :lol:

I also liked their tweet about visiting Walthers:

The Walthers reps appear to be thinking "But this is N scale...".

Hmm... Mary Poppins
and friends...?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Well the Flying Scotsman toured the US and Canada in 1969-73, so that will help cover the east/west and Canucks. The consist was the locomotive with a handful of cars. That's my "reasonable" speculation. Hogwarts is just me being hopeful for my inner tween-year-old.

Gray FEF3 is what their youtube channel said was getting closer. So probably.

Whatever it is, hopefully the color of the handrails match the color of the body.

There you go with those negative waves!  Didn't the TRW moderators teach you to only say nice things?  :trollface: :D :trollface: :D

Perhaps the dainty people will be made into tea.  Or Kato is planning to model the MBTA. Or it's the Twin Cities Zephyr.  Not a General Pershing, but a Pegasus would be nice...
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I think someone at Kato picked up some of that "funny" tea from up in Washington and they are brewing it.

I'm sure I'll be wrong - but unless they are tooling an n scale genset or Kraus-Maffii it seems the most logical choice.

I see AZL has announced the pending release of a Kraus-Maffi in Z scale.... :?
