Wow, I just realized that FVM, BLMA and Bluford have all been very quiet lately.

I think the UP models are the first in N Scale to feature a PTC farm.  That'll be interesting to see.

Has FVM talked about doing other engines such as Geeps?

Like a high hood Southern GP-30.


Hmm... I could use a
flat hood GP88...

These are nice units.

FVM has told me they are going to do a SD70M-2 soon.  Makes sense given the existing tooling they have.  And Toasters Rock.

How do you mean quiet?

I'd be all over that as long as they don't release NS stuff with the low headlight. I was still a bit annoyed with the Heritage GEVO's not having the wide-style handrails. Doesn't stop me from running mine, but if you are going to change the tooling for the cabs why not offer the right handrails?

I requested 60-70's era Hy cube boxcars and gondolas on Blufords facebook and they said given my era I will be pleased with their next announcement later this year, will have to see.

My understanding is it will be a nose headlight version.  Maybe both.  I did not ask about roadnames so I can't say. 

[crrcoal]

Yes I'd grab some SD70M-2"s!!! 

With IM coming out with the SD40's also I'm gonna be bankrupt by the end of the year.

I'd love to see FVM do a nice High Hood Geep. NS still has quite a few running around.

[Scottl]

There were photos of the SD70M-2 models at the Amherst show in 2013, so the tooling is probably already done.  Just need to get them in the schedule, I suppose.

From the ACe sample pics, I saw none with the correct NS antennas.  However in the announcement, it said the NS units would have modified tooling to make them NS specific.  I presume it will be the same with the M-2's so I feel as FVM will get it right.

FVM had samples for the SD70M-2 (non Iso cab CN and NS version w/ rear ditch lights) and when they announced the NS ACes they showed off CAD drawings with the correct details, I have no doubts FVM will get the details right....

FVM made two announcements in the last week.
