Ohh boy I'm going to have to get a few of those FGEs

February 2025. Wow

[mu26aeh]

We still have at least a dozen reefer cars in the display case and they're announcing new run already.  Maybe these will be goneby 2025.

Acid cars are still 6-8 months out, should be a 2nd run announcement coming soon I guess 🤦‍♂️

[learmoia]

Oh yeah, your right.. several dealers still have the FGE and  Most others in stock.. sound and no sound..

I guess I better check to see if I already got one from the last run.

It'll be here before you know it. Time goes faster and faster the older I get.
At least Athearn is being realistic.

UFIX gons for me. I wish they'd rerun the SD70s.

I have my three FGE Classic from the first run so I'm set.  I'm just stunned that they are announcing 16 months out.  But they are allowing for reservation time so they can MTO or cancel I suppose.

At least you know they will be produced even if it is awhile out!

They just released a run of SD70s (what 6 months ago?)

For the yellow/Tuscan red FGE cars, the 11025 number is incorrect (I believe) - it is from a class with a straight sill and a 9 foot door (rather than the drop sill and 10.5 foot door on the model).  The other two numbers are good.

Thanks, I came to the same conclusion.

I'm just stunned that they are announcing 16 months out.

Many of the most recent deliveries - the F89F flats, the 53' X-Post Containers, the airslides etc - had slipped from a 12 month period to 15 months so at least it's realistic.

SOLID CLOD

Might have to get that one.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper  ... it goes faster at the end.

SOLID CLOD... nice.
