You can stop hoping for a new Atlas announcement at NTS.

Summer is the season of re-runs. The CR SD50 caught my eye, but little else.

I would have bet big money that an SW1500 would have been announced there this year.

I'm hoping to snag a couple of the NS Dash 8-40CW's when they hit shore soon.  Maybe a SD50 or two for a SD40-E rebuild.

Don't worry, I'm positive we'll get one sometime in the next 40 years.

Well I'm pleased to see a re-run of the Trainmaster - I'll be grabbing a couple of Norfolk & Western, likewise the NE-6 Caboose.

I can also use some more Thiele Kaolin tank cars for my paper mill layout.

Cheers,

Kev

That's all?  I saw more goodness than that...  Looks like Cory was listening.  Two more road numbers of the 90-ton hopper in the Conrail pre-Q scheme.  Oh, and did anyone catch that NE-6 in PC green with the small "CONRAIL" stencil?  I've wanted to model that paint-out scheme on a caboose, and just hadn't gotten to it.  Now I don't have to!

The re-run of the Pennsy Trainmaster also caught my eye.

Yes, I'd have much rather seen an SW1500 (in blue, of course)...   But there were some goodies in this catalog too.  I suppose with all I have on pre-order (or expect to) like ESM stuff and essentially an entire Amtrak train from Kato, my wallet is thankful.

At least from ESM, you only have to worry about a small handful of XIH boxcars over the next year.  It will be the model following that might cause you budgetary issues.  8)

If I work enough OT for the oil spill I might add an SD or two to the KCS roster.  Wait, I think I have an undec that needs paint . . . .

Some interesting schemes on the HO Evans gondolas - which will probably come to n in the next cycle....

But that was the only thing that caught my eye.

Amending my earlier - the W&LE hoppers are also sweet - I have several prototype photos of these from St. Denis, so weathering up a few would be a breeze . . . .

Ditto on the W&LE cars and the Conrail paint out caboose.  Not really in the market for anything right now, but I'll be on the hunt next time I can get to a Timonium bash.

I'll be picking up at least one of the TrainMaster's.

When I got my first one, I wasn't that thrilled with the look of it, but its grown on me.  Plus it's heavy and smooth running.
