I wonder if the roof is a seperate peice like the IM cars. If that is the case, the roofwalk/roof/hatches could be replaced with IM parts for very cheap

It doesn't appear so based on the picture posted.

some lagging news ...

According to this, Although no specific details were available at the NTS event, a senior Walthers executive dispelled rumors that the company was softening its support of N scale by confirming to MRH reporter Jeff Shultz that two new N scale locomotives would be announced before the end of the year.

Now, is a senior Walther's executive some old senile guy? :P Does "two new" mean re-releases of Lifelike stuff or  really new?

Ladies and gentlemen, it's 2011. So the big deal was a couple re-runs (ie no new locos)... ::)

Hey, all the Walther's guy said was that "two new N scale locomotives would be announced before the end of the year." He never said they would be announced by Walthers... :)
