You can pass on the NH GP38s, as they are actually ConnDOT units from the 2000s decorated in the tribute scheme.  Great to see those engines, now we just need to see the commuter cars.


Ah.

Thank you for the heads up!

I'll be in for an undec GP9 (and some DM&E decals since Atlas won't paint one for me...). A MILW GP9 would be neat too, but my wallet dictates that I be more choosy. I could maybe be talked into an HCLX GP38, I've seen at least one of them rolling through the area.

Ya know, I was looking for a place to pre-order the Baby Belle, but can't find anyone who has the pre-order listed. but they appear to have been due 28 January.  Anyone have any ideas.

The GP38/40 were not among Atlas' January announcements, despite what the catalog says, so I doubt anyone is taking pre-orders yet.  I'd expect them to be announced either in February.

The Baby Belle GP-40 is of interest, even if Atlas can't properly name the model (gp40-3 rebuild in case anyone is interested)

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2266927

as is the classic red GP-30

It's actually a GP22ECO... it was classed as a GP40-3 before being rebuilt by EMD.

I am happy to see the green MEC GP-7's. Microscale screwed up the color on the last run of decals so I haven't been able to do any of these.

Nothing for me in HO. Which is GREAT since Athearn is gonna clean me out with SW15(00)s, F7s(I have 0 F-units), F45s, and GP15s. Walthers is doing SD9s too. don't know if I'll spring for them

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

The B&M Geeps are a must and the MEC Geeps are a temptation. Oh Boy, better start saving now... No more rolling stock!  Yeh right. :)

The CR geep is tempting...  But good gawrsh, Kato has been sucking my wallet dry these past few and next few months.

What am I nuts?  I put in my pre-order with the Hobby Town guy in Easton...  I guess I have the whole summer and fall to save up the MSRP...  But alas, he's my Local, and could use the business...  He promised to save me enough to offset both shipping and sales tax, so I guess it won't be so bad....

Props to you Lee.

Sometimes it's more important to do that rather than trying to save a buck or two.

Ugh! I know. I keep buying stuff in the late 70s and early 80s era!! It all seems to come at once!
