Cool!  Been waiting for the reworked DCC/Sound F59's.  No Trinity Railway Express, but I'll be in line for one or two to swap my existing mechs for.

Yay, more commuter cars! I've been waiting for more to come out so I can strip and repaint them as MBTA K-Car standins.

It's amazing that DCC & Sound adds so much to the prices on those units.

However, it's equally impressive that they're keeping the MSRP on the analog ones down low.

Yeah, and I bet they ditched the 3 pole NHRA motors this time too!

Freaky. I sent them an email last week reminding them it's been years since they released some GO bi-levels.

Easy to do when you're owned by your distributor...

Mmmm Mmmm
fresh from the oven Metrolink goodness...

Glad that I only needed another car set.  Still, wondering why no Metrolink locos this run?

I don't understand 2 things:

Metrolink cars but no loco?

The Amtrak and Amtrak West from the first run sold like hotcakes but no Amtrak of any kind in this release?

I've been wondering about that too. There was plenty of griping at my local shop about the lack of Amtrak and Metrolink F59s.  A few are convinced it's a conspiracy to vex modern passenger fans, especially here in Southern California.

  It's about time we get the Utah Transit Authority "Front Runner" locomotives to pull the cars I have had for almost a year. Now for Decissions do I want DCC with sound or just DC. Yay !                                  Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.

Based on what the announcements are for HO and N. It might be the smallest Athearn pre-order I have ever done for our shop!

Question:  If there was a foobie version of the F59 in MARC clothing, would anyone be in?  It's not too far removed from the new engine they're using (if you cross your eyes)...and it's only commuter service, so it doesn't have to be perfect, right?

hum . . intriguing idea Lee, but where would we get the cars?  Island MOdelworks hasen't done the bi-lelevs in N yet (though their HO model does look fantastic).
