Big Kato Announcement Coming????

[ljudice]

FEMA Death Camp Train

[delamaize]

here is my reaslitic prediction:
GE ES44AC in Rock Island, 2 numbers.
I think I saw clues on Kato's website.

in otherwords, boo modern crap!!

[ljudice]

I think the Rock Island idea is the best guess yet!!!

You still wonder if it qualifies as a "doozy", though...

I notice the GS4 is in the Freedom Train scheme coming soon, which would make the entire Freedom Train a logical choice, would it not?

Iowa Interstate has a Rock Island Heritage GEVO, only one number though so I doubt they would do two numbers. I also doubt this would be their BIG announcement. That said, they could be referring too a new Passenger train, The Golden State Limited. Joint SP-RI operation.

Ya just know that they're sitting at Kato USA headquarters bustin a gut over the way we're carrying on about this.................. ;D

I think Jason figured this out:  Kato is going to announce Cialas with MAP pricing.

The City of New Orleans was colorful, and a train even non-model railroaders might be interested in.

What? For the humongous throngs of Steve Goodman and Arlo Guthrie fans? Maybe they'll branch out into boat models too, and do the Edmund Fitzgerald?

[Ian MacMillan]

...and do the Edmund Fitzgerald?

With free iTunes download of a song that never ends!

But how would the train be a doosy but not the engine itself.  I would think you would have to announce it as set for it to qualify......

I would like to see a nebraska zephry, and a Q E5

You can count my purchase in!

 I hope its the North Coast Limited. Couldn't they use their existing smoothside cars? How about the F-3 and F-7's?  Wouldn't that be the cheapest route for Kato? Green paint is all they need .

[sirenwerks]

Which Freedom Train are you suggesting, the '47 version or the '75 one?

If the latter, they need to start by producing a Reading T1, before they do anything else. You gotta start with the right loco, and 2101 saved the AFT's butt when the GS4 restoration fell behind.

And wouldn't MT be a better bet, since they're getting all freaky and doing the RBBX train? Hmmm, but Kato would have a reason to release the SD40-2s again and in BN paint, kinda, to represent the Dash-2s that pulled the train while 4449 again took a break to be pampered.

Of course, whoever makes it can also make the Canuk's Discovery Train too.
