Aren't they supposed to be hashing out the FEF4 for N scale?The S.
Seriously between the economy, the problems in China, etc., I think we need to get a handle on this from the mfgs POV. It doesn't strike me as the ideal time to ramp up production, especially for either high end steam or offbeat locos like the FP45 which would naturally have lower sales than a more mainstream model. But, the slam dunks have all been released, no? I would call Gensets and other locos potential slam dunks, but they don't extend over all roads or modeling eras, and thus, have inherently lower sales potential. To invest in any new tooling for an era or road specific loco, or one that has been done already by others and would be an "upgrade" would be risky, at least to me.

Are those 89 foot flats enough different from others coming to waste a wish on those?
Thank-you for your inquiry. Please note that we have not announced thatwe will be producing these cars in N-scale nor do we have any plans tooffer them in N-scale at this time.

Well in HO they are coming out with two new locos this year late. The GP 7 and the U 50. Got me excited
They did not on their facebook page that they "have a surprise up their sleave".
