That would be the first sign of the apocalypse.   :trollface:

Actually, if that was to come true there would be no more flaws/errors in any of the models, or foobies!  And all the details would be delicately engraved (just like it is done on those MTL reefers).  :P  :trollface:

If I was a coffee drinker, Ed's post would have me spit my coffee from laughing!  But on a serious note, I'm way too anal to survive in that kind of job (in our imperfect, and full of compromises world).  :D

Given they have Craig Martin on staff, this could be good.

A new "effunit" to replace the old Atlas/Roco F9? :ashat:

On semi-serious note, a 40' steel meat reefer would be a nice addition to their line up and is very much needed for N scale.


This +1.  The GP30 idea sounds good too.

N Scale Gensets.

Oh don't say that, as I would be in for a trio for sure if they offered them in undecorated. Need a set in SP Speed Lettering.

I keep waiting for the announcement of a new run/rerun of the Amtrak Dash 8-32BWH's in Phase V paint scheme. I still want a couple Coast Starlight.

You do know that it wasn't Atlas that mentioned any surprises, it was the fellow that posted the catalog update, correct.   :?

EDIT 
I now see what you are referring to, but in the interest of fair posting, you probably should have included Paul's quote as a separate line rather than leave the indication of coming from the OP.   ;)

I've never been able  to figure out how to do multiple quotes with credits in the window.

I thought Train fest was in January?

We better crank out more guesses faster than I planned.

I was thinking a Gas Turbine would be nice, but it'll probably be some container type.

Genset would be awesome. RSD15 alligators too.

@peteski, how about new wood side deep gapped reefers?

Another switcher with sound like their S2....this time with mounting holes in the (metal) hood rather than cast-on grabs. :D
