NMRA Convention News / Announcments?

[Ike the BN Freak]

If they do the U Boat, wonder if they will do some alternate tooling and get those iconic B units from BN?

Those are easy, high hood B23-7s get you most of the way to a B30-7A, or as some call it, B30-7AB.

And those are already available from Atlas.

Alco C 415, though limited in roads would be a very nice addition to most anyones fleet.  I understand we have one from Bowser in HO on the way, they will get a big chunk of my credit card when that happens.

Bowser should consider releasing something new in N, something finely detailed in N, something in an odd Alco switcher variety in N.

Could it be a FM switcher like the H10-44? Not done in plastic, but done in 3D printing.

Minitrix have done it in plastic in N, but admittedly not in a very long time.

[sundowner]

It's going to be a t4 model of a ace or a gevo because three is not enough.

Minitrix has done the H12-44, not the H10-44.  They look similar, but there is still enough difference. The 10-44 has the overhanging roof at the back.

ah I stand corrected, thanks

[Sokramiketes]

Well a big thumbs down from me as I relied on the PDFs.

Where did they say they were eliminating PDF's?  I figured the "Monthly Electronic" would be PDF still... no?

I'm set up at the Kato booth all three days; drop by and say 'hi'!

Phase 1 H-12-44's also had the overhang... The minitrix model is the shorter phase 3 version...

So Atlas could do an h10-44 and an early H12-44 while still claiming it hasn't been done in plastic before

I don't think they've done PDF format besides the catalogs.  Until I see otherwise, I assume monthly announcements will be like they have been.  I'll happily be wrong.

So you are officially with Kato for this show? Nice! Congratulations!  Looks like they they recognized the advertising power of demonstrating that Unitrak has a place in high-quality realistic modeling.

Back to the Atlas guesses for tomorrow's big reveal, think I will guess Gensets, first.  Second guess would be chop nose GP9, both of which I thought they did in HO (saves tooling costs) and both sounded like pretty good sellers.

At one time there was a monthly catalog in pdf form, in addition to the semi-annual editions.
