Atlas SD45's

[dem34]

oof, sounds rough on ESU's end then. Yeah I can imagine even if its just a simple slip up or misstep. Being at the helm and losing such a big market share to competitors without a good answer can be... problematic.

The announcements in the new Winter 2023 Catalog feature ESU.

Talked with Atlas rep at the convention today, and was told these are be loaded into a container now and should be here shortly.

Do they have samples at the show?

I saw a screen-grab on FB taken from their recent livestream that showed the SP version with L-cab and full nose package....

Super. More 1960s goodness given this morning's GP30 announcement from ScaleTrains.

I'm still astounded Atlas didn't have UP in the first run. I pre-ordered several in undec to paint yellow/gray, but was cautioned that Atlas has drastically limited undec availability in recent runs. My dealer was not particularly optimistic about quantities.

...SP version with L-cab and full nose package....

Cool. I ordered one SP along with the undecs. Nice to know that Atlas is stepping up to the plate with road-specific details.

Yes they have samples at the show

Not of the SP ones. Those inadvertently got left out of the stuff they packed. They did have the DRGW ones though which I am seriously thinking about picking up too.

[Wolf N Works]

Yes the SP were not there as I thought I did ask them about it and they stated, they would have full light package and the L shaped window.

I spent time BSing with the Atlas team at their table, but never thought to take a picture of them... that said, I've been blacklisted from buying an EL one because Paul knows what I'm going to do to it. lol.

And I can't wait for Jack Hoff's order to arrive.

I kinda wish I coulda showed up. SD45 pix here:  https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=58051.0

Hoping Atlas gets the NW SD45s right on the production versions. 

I received a response from Atlas ... no bells on the N&W SD45s.   

Especially annoying since they have a good track record on 2nd Generations EMDs (both the N&W SD35s and the N&W GP38s (GP38AC) have the correct bells). Maybe I should hold out for Scale Trains. I do have some spare bells, but on a $280 loco I shouldn't have to.

Alas,
