Cool for those that have a need. Looks pretty awesome for N scale in terms of detail.

No fill yet in the massive SD40-2  void

Thanks for the photos Smike! I've asked Matt about these since the NTS show in 2011. Glad they are getting closer.

Does Atlas have a new catalog?

@bbussey did Rapido send you any info about the new acrylic paint line?  Could be some of the best new the hobby has gotten depending on how far they expand the line.

Didn't see a catalog.

Rapido paint info is in the current newsletter just released last night.

Geez, can't we give these guys a break? I may not want or need a Big Blow, but it looks like a stunning model.
There are a lot wonderfully done new models out I couldn't care less about (containers, really?) but I have an appreciation for the effort and talent it takes to bring new things to the market. Maybe the next model will be something that makes me excited, meanwhile I'm happy for the guys that get theirs.
Cynicism sucks IMHO; we've never had it so good.
