If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Wow, that's gonna kick the CRAP out of the P2K ones. And I thought those were pretty nice.

So far all their models point to west coast prototypes. WP and SP. It might be nice to have some Northeast prototypes! If the drive is that which the F units have, this should be killer.

They mentioned DLW also used the barrel light, so there may be one so far.

I agree about the old Athearn shells. As for the FR/RP shells, they are okay (not too bad, but not to good either), especially if they want a large amount of geeps.

Hmm... I think it looks a little crappy for a Genesis model.  Not on par with the F units at least...  Look at how horrible some things are rendered: door gaps, sand filler hatches, knuckle busters...

They look good to me.  Maybe you'd like me to bring over my Athearn Blue Box GP9 for you to look at.   :P

No doubt it's better than the previous Blue Box Special.  And it's a little better than Front Range.  But for a blockbuster Genesis attempt, it's not quite up to par.  The bar is pretty high in HO these days.



Just look at those door gaps.  Egads.
