The throw bar of the Z turnouts looks like an improvement over the N scale ones. And it's sprung.

Meh.

I can feel this. I was almost sure one of the U boats was going to be the other new locomotive.

It looks like I'll be seeing a decline in sales for my SD60E cabs.

Regardless I'll be looking forward to getting as many of yours as I can.

We have put the MBTA scheme on these cars in HO, so it would probably happen in N scale at some point as well.
Should that happen, perhaps you could coordinate with Kato to have them simultaneously release their MP36PH model decorated as MBTA 010 and 011.

An engine with only one road name? Wow.

My money is safe from the passenger cars 2, but I'm sure a lot of other modelers are pretty happy.

Eh... would have loved to see the Kawasaki cars, but I understand the issue trying to get one model to fill enough orders. I'll still get a full train.

Here is to hoping you'll consider Comet II cars as a follow-up.

Thanks for making them though .. while I never got one, it was on my eventual list of projects to do ..  guys like you that offer unique parts and shells are Nscale heroes ..

HMM... 1 year ago,  I speculated on IM's cryptic answer on Flexicoil trucks for Conrail SD40-2s..  It led me to believe that Atlas was slowly working on updated SD50/60/60M/I/E Which would include Conrail details (correct trucks /fuel tank) which could filter back to IM stuff.

Hmm, ok, but why do you think the new model will have new trucks?  Or do you?
