Ideally (for me) this will be an updated version of the offset cupola Santa Fe caboose.  I'm tired of adding MTL hand rails and chimneys to the Atlas models, just to get something that is half-way decent.

But I know that it will actually be a ready-to-roll Caswell gondola (because I've just bought a bunch of undecorated kits to build.)

So go ahead Paul - break my heart.  (Again.)

Regards,
Ron

during my trip to China in September, we were able to test a road switcher chassis with a sound decoder and speaker installed, and are now working to get that to market.  As such, it doesn't make a lot of financial sense to retool a frame to be decoder ready, then have to retool it again to put in sound.

Hmmm... RSD 4/5.  Road switcher.  Atlas model isn't (currently) decoder ready..........

Oh .. noooo!! If Atlas does those with sound I'll have to sell my house!

I wonder if the fantasy scheme trainmasters was a way to gauge interest in the baby trainmaster.  I know I would buy the baby TM. If offered.

I really want a C425 and or a U28B or U30B, so we'll probably get a late version FM H16-44.

This would be relative to my interests...

I'm with Josh... Gotta be a GG1. It would be bad to be left out!

Paul said road switcher , so AS-616 or a MP-15AC both would qualify a new and not re-engineered existing chassis .

Didn't announce U30/36B's awhile back?

A P30CH would be a BIG surprise, wouldn't it?    :D

Just saying.
