N - CSX/SDB fans unite! The B36-7s are here

[u18b]

Just noticed the Atlas delivery page shows the B36-7s as having left China.
Assuming the container does not fall off the ship..... arrival time is often about one month later.

Remember Railwire fans..... this locomotive release started right here about a year and a half ago.

And remember.... the CSX scheme in this release has never been done before in N scale.  This is the first.

Atlas is a wonderfully responsive company.

Thanks Cory and Paul!!!!

(now all you Conrail folks can start begging like I did      )

As promised, I'm in.  In fact, I ordered the three Atlas SBD GP38-2s last week and that delivery is en route as I type this.  I look forward to the B36-7s.  Quintessential Seaboard System.

I have 20 Conrail B23-7s.

And I'm excited about these.

I have a sickness.

Thanks John.

I especially like finding one of a kind paint schemes.
And there are two in stealth.

No sickness, you just model the Selkirk Zone!

Atlas still shows plenty of B23 and B30 dash 7s.

But the CSX/SBD System B36-7s are going fast.   I'm glad I had already placed my order.

I called today and Atlas is now out of the SBD System analog.
And I think they only have one road number of CSX B36-7 left in analog.

Digital still available for both.

Obviously, dealers still have plenty.  But my point is the origin of the supply chain has about sold out.

I look forward to getting mine this week.

I was concerned that Atlas goofed on the SBS System since the test shot shows a grey fuel tank.
But when I saw one on a recent visit, it was black as it should be.

I received my SBD B36-7s, Ron.  I saw those test shots, too, and I was also nervous.  But, the fuel tank and trucks are properly black.  Whew!

I also noticed that the pilots were missing the black and white chevrons, but I checked my library and this actually seems correct.  Other B units and Geeps seem to have gotten the chevrons, but, apparently, not the B36-7s.  I learn something everyday.

All right Dave.  Looks like 1985.

Mine will have the little tiny CSX sublettering.

All still listed in stock at BLW.  Glad to see the SBD getting some love.
