National Train Show doesn't start until Friday morning... usually MR drops the press releases on Thursday.

Maybe N&W GP9s in  passenger colors, either red or blue (or both). I'll add the boiler details!

I saw last night Athearn announced doing the SD60E in HO Genesis series.  4 road numbers for Norfolk Southern in 1st release including the 9-1-1 First Responders Unit.

He might have meant N&W "proper" (ie N&W bought) GP9s #s 500-521. Only 500-505 were phase 2, the rest were phase 3. The fuel tanks and other details would be wrong though.

They went through 5 paint schemes.  :o

Oh, it's not sound in an existing loco.  It's a new body that has never been done in N scale plastic.

Well, at least it's not an announcement about an upcoming announcement  :facepalm:

Cue 20 pages of.." I  think they should make a (insert any loco the poster needs) bx-307 in the exact scheme it wore during that minute of my childhood"

Also hoping for some more RS11s, need the handrails to be in the spares department. ;)
