Maybe if you N-scale guys are lucky, they'll finally do SD40-2s in N.  :tommann:

Careful! Them's fightin words round these parts!  :D

Athearn like Walthers is a HO company and always has been.There's no changing that.

Which really is too bad since their recent n scale tooling has been top notch.

Agreed.  And since they have that expert Cad department (or a really good sub contractor) it would be a shame to let the Genesis HO drawings go to waste . . .

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

Everybody agrees we need SD40-2's... But nobody agrees on who should/could/will do them! :D
