AS-616  I guess that will do.

I'm going to put my guess in for a 3GS21B... especially now that I've made all the versions available on shapeways.

Hope to see the Athearn Tri-levels in N and the ACF 4600s which I know the 4600s but not sure about the Tri-levels but would assume they would since the tooling is the same as the bi-level.

A Genset was going to by my guess, as they did them in HO already.  And just in time to see the prototype NS units going up for auction

Oooh! Tier 4 EMDs!

Oooh! Tier 4 EMDs!

Meh! Origami modern crap. C636! C636! C636! (Second option... AS616! AS616! AS616!)

Baldwins are good.

Re my earlier post wishing for N&W GP9s, I should have said with dynamic brakes..........

All this begging will not help - obviously the model is already chosen and will be announced soon.

It's a new body that has never been done in N scale plastic.

No, No, No, I know what the new locomotive model is. It's a U28B Phase IV with the sloped low hood and will be released in all of the P&LE paint schemes, along with Southern Pacific, CB&Q, Milwaukee Road, Great Northern, New York Central and the Norfolk & Western Railway. It's about time

I'd like to see Atlas produce some 8-40c,b's & bw's, as well as some gp38's with ditch lights... Just saying... Here me calling Paul...

It's a new body that has never been done in N scale plastic.

Does that statement imply that it has been done in brass?
If so, that would eliminate certain possibilities (and make others more likely).

[Dave V]

You guys are all barking up the wrong tree.

In N scale these days manufacturers only bring out new tooling for locomotives that are already offered by other manufacturers.

Originally I thought that, but I suppose he could be including resin (and 3d prints) in that...

Excited to see what's in the works...
