Athearn N Scale F45 / FP45 latest run due October 2022

[kiwi_al]

While searching for Athearns N Scale FP45 I saw that Athearn have published that there is a new run being done with a October 2022 release date, I already have 6 of these from the first run (DCC and Sound) but would like to compare the Tsunami 2 decoders with the original Tsunami decoders. This is probably old news but my searches didn't pull anything in the Product Discussion. I also have 4 of Grants F45's, 4 reworked Lima FP45's and several SD40-2F's  that I made.
Anyone know if these are on track or are they doing the Intermountain smoke up your butt thing?

I have their FP45 from I think the first run (was DC but I added ESU sound). Absolute gem of a model and, man, is it ever nice and heavy!

And here I thought I had a Conrail SD40-2 problem with 5 of em... lol.

Lately Athearn has been delivering product within about 6 months after they originally said they would.  They aren't Intermountain.

I have been keeping an eye on them. I want to say it started out with February, then July and now October.

Will Athearn ever release a non-EMD diesel loco in N scale? Or even ANY loco that hasn't already been released previously?

They did the Big Boy.     Probably you meant a diesel though, huh?

Did you not read the word "diesel"?

I had a look in their HO listing and it looks like Athearn is focusing on EMD for some reason, however under the Roundhouse brand they have 1 Alco and 2 GE's so there may be hope for them yet
