New Kato Web Poll - "NYC 20th Century Limited" and "SP Lark" options

[garethashenden]

I voted for the Hudson, but I still want to see the PRR/NH/B&M/MEC East Wind in it's 1940 yellow and aluminum arrangement, preferably with a B&M P4 for power.

By my default setting (no, I am not kidding) I will always side with more Heavyweights.  MT's cars are fabulous... some of the finest you can buy but the company alone can't bring out everything that modelers would like to see in the foreseeable future... but at least Atlas is throwing many of us a bone in doing some really fine cars that will be very welcome... lets hope more can be brought to market so some of the truly fine heavyweight Limiteds' can be modeled.

This!  But an R1d Mountain instead of the P4 would be OK too.  In the meantime, I voted for the Diesel 20th Century.  I'd probably get either one, and neither of the Larks.

What he said^^^^ but with a MEC #470 as power

I voted for the post 1941 Lark.  I also sent them a email requesting they do an accurate Triple Diner in two tone Grey.  The Triple Diner on the Lark was different than the one on the Daylight.  The kitchen/bunk car was on the end instead of the middle.  I hope they pick that up if they do the car.

Post '41 Lark. Will be interesting to see if they do the "Lark" specific Streamlined "Harriman" baggage and RPO head end cars?!?!?

If only there was the option to vote for both NYC trains.

There is a way, but I'm not sure how it will make any difference (your votes will cancel each other).

I did "that" way and I guess I cancelled myself out but I wanted to show interest in the drop-window observation as well as the post-war version of the train.

Anyone else get the feeling that Kato will use the same gray colors for both trains?

Nothing is even announced and it is already getting criticized!  Lol.

The reason I went for a P4 over something else is that one of them, 3712, was named East Wind, and that fits well with the set as a whole.

                   :|It is time for KATO to stop all this poling and produce another train, oh wait they have to release the Oily Hi first. I did order one of those with sound equipped locos. Just give us the RI Rocket with unique TA diesel both four car and three car articulated trains and you would have a winner like the "Silver Streak" sets. I voted for heavyweight Lark  because we do need even more heavyweight car types and Micro Trains will never be able to do them all. The steam era Lark with "Lark Club" triple unit kitchen, diner, club, is very tempting and they already have a GS4 locomotive and do know how to produce the correct paint scheme even if it was on a mixed bag of cars. Back to my original rant. No more polls' give us a Rocket with a TA.                          Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.

I agree, time to deliver on one of the items from a poll. I am just fine with a Rocket!

Technically, it was a passive aggressive comment meant to express my frustration with Kato, and their neglect to produce a passenger consist I’m interested in.
 
For what I know, both grays are the same with the SP and NYC.

All comments, yours and mine, are in the true spirit of fun here on the The Railwire!!  Hence the LOL!  It’s all good and fun!

We all have our own agendas, sometimes not related to the released model. 

Very true, and for the Creek series Obs cars, I could use one for Private Varnish for Hickory Creek and Sandy Creek. Same reason I was kinda hoping for a "Rapids" series tail car for the the Hiawatha, maybe one day.
