I for one will be quite happy just to get some of the 70's Ford pickups seeing as there must be at least a 100 of them still running around my home town (Grand Rapids,MI.)ranging all the way from fresh off the show room floor to looking like no self respecting scrap yard would accept it even for free.

Yeah, that's at Elizabeth IL in front of an actual CGW depot.  Hopefully they can get an actual CGW caboose someday.

How about one of these in CGW paint with "116A" on one end and "116C" on the other?

I think the surprise just happened:

MBK has this on their new release page:

http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/product-p/mrc-1828.htm

If you don't want to click, it says "MRC 1828 N DCC Diesel Sound Decoder for Atlas SD50/SD60/SD70".

SD70???  Really???  What are our Atlas friends not telling us?

Aren't their products ordered chronologically?  :| ie: click N scale and the newest releases are first...

Correct.  Makes life just a bit easier so they'll probably change it....

Cory, you must know what Atlas has planned for the next year or two. So?

Or maybe it's MBK being MBK.
According to MRC's instruction sheet for the decoder, it's described as a "drop in for Atlas SD50 and other."

I keep http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/N-Scale-s/3.htm?searching=Y&sort=3&cat=3&show=300&page=1 bookmarked and visit daily.

NAH, Ed, new releases as in upcoming? As in announcements or prereservation. MBK drives me nuts with the new items that show up in the N scale listing that are already sold out when I see them.

Ah, yeah. That doesn't exist (I don't think). I agree about the new stuff. That's why I watch the page like a hawk!
