keep seeing SD40-2s, besides the hood being overwidth, what is wrong with the Katos?

Besides they never seem to do any runs of them

Ike- nailed it! They built 3000 of the things and they are still running with many roads. Kato did them and has a small selection of road names and very limited supply.

This will probably fall on death ears since there is 3 (maybe 4?) people on TRW that model modern stuff, but doesn’t it just burn you to see Z Scale getting these intermodal gems?

The last months run with Schneider containers was just as mouth watering too:

I agree, those are pretty nice.  What got me was the Z-scalers getting Spartan cab SD70s.  Love those units.  We got SD70's out the wazzoo in N-scale, but no standard cabs.

Feels a lot like a wish list thread that would get posted on the Atlas board, about once or twice a month.

I was thinkging spcifically the H43 class of hoppers based on an N&W design.  Lasted well into the 90s.
Bowser did these in HO, but I thought the Atlas 90-100 Ton was also based on that same design.

I know ATL has released the 90-100 Ton hopper in a H-43 scheme. The panels sure look right.

Wasn't sure what the Atlas one is based on.  If it is the H-43 I've got to get somemore.
