Some nice releases on the locos, but the prices are sure up on those 4 axles :o

They always seem to come a couple days late for some reason.  I think they date it and then complete the site and make corrections before releasing it.

Bob,

I spotted that RF&P caboose a few weeks ago, and it is exactly what I need for my era. :)  Previously, Atlas only gave me the 1970s-era caboose and the 1980s-era GP40s, which I tolerated.  Now, I just need more 1980s-era GP35s, GP40s, and GP40-2s.  C'mon, Atlas!  You can do it!

Thought you might like that caboose.  Wonder is Ed saw the FEC loco.  You should get the 2 WM geeps in Kitty Colors to run on Lee's layout just to piss him off.  ;D

Yeah, just when I retire this hobby gets real expensive.  Maybe I can drive a school bus to continue this hobby?

Iowa Interstate and DT&I Cabeese for me! HO is getting the NRE Genset, we shouldn;t be that far behind.

We still don't have the U30B, which preceded it in HO. >:(

And, not that I NEED these, but I'd a Genset and a U boat.  May not be KCS prototypes (although KCS does have RPP's hybrid loco) but I can always Foobie them.  KCS should have had u boats instead of being all EMD until the 1990's, IMHO.
