I'm still going to wait for Atlas to do an S-2.

I'm hopeful that they'll offer the S-2 in WM paint.  Bachmann has been pretty friendly to the Wild Mary.

They are doing the S-4 in WM.  Aren't the S-2 and S-4 basically the same except for the trucks?

Most, if not all S4s had sealed window cabs.  Something Bachmann decided not to do.  I think some S2s got them as well.

One can only hope Atlas will still do these.  Even at twice the price they'll be worth it.

With the exception of the windows (almost indiscernible), the trucks are the big difference.

I'm in for one.  Whether I paint it for PRR or PC remains to be seen...!

I am still waiting for Atlas to do a FM H12-44. No really.....like before I die....and in case you haven't noticed, we eat a lot of bacon around here....so could you do this soon?  :P
We need something to pull your DSDX RB's full of beer! (Thanks for that by the way!).

Best wishes, Dave

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

This is indeed great news!

I'm sure someone will complain about the Bachmann loco's being over-priced.  :trollface:
