Post any iHobby News Here...   I don't expect much, but you never know...

Of course the Walthers built-ups (in NEW BOXES!!!!!) are all I've heard about so far.

I'm expecting a bit more out of TrainFest in November. Hopefully Kato's new passenger announcement and I'm sure something new from FVM.

Kato has a new passenger announcement???  Any speculation?

I would guess either something like the UP Heritage Fleet - or maybe Horizon cars???

My speculation would be a 1952 Hiawatha, with super domes and Skytop lounges, and a comrade Little Joe to go with it all. Of course, an Armour yellow version with E units too. I would gladly welcome such wallet carnage.

I expect a few goodies from Trainfest. Lashedup must have insider info. I also expect something new from another one of the newer manufacturers. Would be cool for Kato to do a 20th Century but more than likely it's a West Coaster but no Hiawatha.

Oh come on, it's a CPR Canadian, complete with the HW 12-1's in faux stainless scheme... and as a bonus a Royal Hudson, 6 different HW CPR sleepers, a parlor, two coaches, and A series diner and a solarium..........I mean, if anyone's permitted to guess hen what the hell................ ;)

Kato will announce what, when and if they choose....... and "YOU WILL LIKE IT; YOU WILL LOVE IT; YOU WILL BUY IT........" :scared:

My guess is an updated Kato Empire Builder with specific car.  They have the F7 done already, maybe an updated F3 set.  They know this would sell.  I would like to see FVM do a newer version of the Hiawatha.

What's kinda weird is that ConCor has a bunch of the old smoothsides coming and Milwaukee Road in "Hiawatha Orange" is one of them. What I really wish is that Walthers would do a new N scale industry even though I realize it'll snow in July in Georgia before that happens!
