I was poking around the Walthers site and I came across these under 'just announced'.

Did I miss these or are they new?

I am liking the Santa Fe scheme!  I need these for my yard.

Wow!  Does this mean that the Walthers finally woke up and will again start re-releasing their N scale locos?  I would love to see this one and also the 0-8-0 switcher, the 2-8-8-2 Mallet, and most of the other locomotives currently in mothballs.

 :) Hope Walthers does bring us more N locomotives.  A bonus is that they would already have Micro-Trains couplers! Although now several years old, my two Walthers GP-60 diesels run great, plus pull a lot.  Those announced SW1200s do look nice.

Hmmm . . . I didn't even think of that. You might have something there.

If the power pickup is still attached to the shell, no thanks!  :P

If offered, I'd have ordered a couple in this NH scheme, even without Flexicoil sideframe trucks:

That NH scheme is really nice. But the Hancock air whistle on a switcher?

A couple Milwaukee units for me, will be a nice addition...

Maybe a couple to paint up as Soo line when they go on sale eventually...
