NMRA Convention News / Announcments?

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

C'mon U33B, C'mon U33B!

[Philip H]

C'mon U33B, C'mon U33B!

Yep.  Yep.  Yep!

[coosvalley]

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

Apparently, releasing a locomotive does not actually mean you will be able to get parts. Atlas just released another batch of U23Bs for example, and still no handrails in stock...GRRRRR

I really need a blx7-3 for my mill job

Should we consider that an announcement announcing that there will be an announcement?  Or is that a confirmed rumor that there will be announcement announcing that there will be an announcement?

This is the announcement of the previously announced announcement, that an upcoming announcement is going to be announced!

Will there be a new Atlas catalog?

We wanted to inform you that Atlas will not be producing a six-month catalog for the period of July-December 2017.  After much consideration and debate, Atlas has decided to transition solely to a printed and electronic monthly catalog format in order to best keep our Distributor & Dealer network--as well as our customers—informed about the latest announcements and arrivals of Atlas products.

This change is in part due to the time constraints of catalog production. A rigorous manufacturing schedule forced us to omit certain information from the six-month catalog, such as pricing or new models/features that would help to sell the product.   Our new model will allow us to work up to the last minute to obtain this information and disseminate it to our valued customers.

This makes a lot of sense, honestly. In fact, I'm surprised that there will even be monthly catalogs. I'd figure you'd just go all real time and digital.

Hopefully these changes will allow you folks at Atlas to get some parts back in stock!

Seriously, though, The lack of part availability for recently released models is not only inconvenient, but has me worried about the future of my Atlas loco fleet(which is about 90% of my current fleet!)

Hoping for the U33B or a C425.

[wazzou]

As long as it comes in Red and White or Orange and Black I'll be happy. 

BTW @Atlas Paul @PGBowler2 - Thanks for the Soo Line S2's... 

[Chris333]

Still no RSD-15, then?
