yeah on the gons!!!

Hey when are the first cabooses supposed to be out?

[tom mann]

Wow, the HO list must be too large to be uncountable then ;D

Looking forward to see the MILW and SOO Gons...

[daniel_leavitt2000]

No Mack Rs? Man I hope they do a new run soon. I would love to see a Mack B firetruck. Nothing much for me this month.

Artwork should be up tomorrow or Thursday. First run of Bay Windows looks like they have been pushed back to late September/early October according to the Horizon Dealer site. The new airslides should be shipping soon.

I got my Athearn news, but I couldn't open the links to the products.

There is also an announcement for N scale McHenry couplers, but I couldn't open it.

Hum n scale McHenry's . . . so many choices, so few cars . . . .

[SirTainly]

Hmm could be an epic fail for the SP ones - Those numbers/the Bicentennial scheme were on C-40-7s not C-50s

Looks like just undecs for me.

The UP gons are total foobies....   Class G110-88 is in range 152xxx, not 153xxx and they are closer (if not exactly) like the new Atlas modern gon. I think UP was in the second run in HO.

We all need to email Athearn and tell them the error of their ways...

[Allentown Hump]

IIRC, all of those gons are foobies unless they're all ex-RailGon cars (except the obvious one)...

[ljudice]

Good point!  

And there are so many ex-Railgon paintouts they could do...

Or more railgons, which are always sellouts and hard to find.

[RockGp40]

Athearn has listed 30$ retail for the cabooses; pretty steep in my opinion. I wouldn't mind the RI ones, but hmmmm?

[wcfn100]

I wonder if this means the McHenry site will acknowledge that they even make N scale couplers?

Those Bicentenniels were Excellent sellers in HO. They will move well in N scale. Other SP Schemes, we'll see.

[daniel_leavitt2000]

The couplers are nice. They look like they will be brown. I wonder if they will be releasing their trucks next. Except for some issues with the 100T roller bearing version, they are all pretty nice.
