oops, almost forgot Frisco.




Looks like I get to save a bunch of coin on this model.

I think I can live with the Frisco if they paint it orange and not red.

Something said by Cory at the N scale Convention in Louisville about the color schemes worn by the AN's GP15-T's leads me to think a yellow version might be forthcoming, and it is not even a GP15-1! Of course, the only correct caboose is the Life-Like NE version, so I doubt it would be in a train set.

I'd probably buy at least one (they rarely ran singly).

I think Atlas is showing some marketing prowess and judgement using the "Trainman" line for the GP15, since it is a sure thing for a set, and it is a rather generic type loco anyway.  Atlas knows to market locos in all price ranges, but wants to make them all pretty credible, and this is a viable solution for me.
