Ok; I don't know how much fun you have at work but as you can see, we have way, way too much (and we get to play on uber awesome layouts, like Chris Plue's)...

Oh ya, we have an HO scale Amtrak F40PH coming out too......

Seriously; this is way, way dumb...... :facepalm:  but really kinda nerd cool too.............. :facepalm:

Silly indeed!  :D

But the subsequent video that shows the F40PH in action on that urban layout, man that scenery is outstanding.

Those sound about right. One of the things that no model can duplicate is the sheer quake-like vibrations you can feel near one of those F40s in full idle.

Also... glad they went with the gray-on-black jacket. So much classier than the TNG uniforms.

Tell that to Walthers and their SD70ACe.   
I would like to see an N version Rapido, the Kato one while as nice as it is just falls to pieces when you remove the shell, (that was a chore in itself...)
That and Kato seems to have no interest in sound equipped locos in N so yours would be welcomed... I'll take three please!

Tell the truth, Puddy. Jason did that whole video just to have his name screamed into the darkness in that last shot, didn't he? The F40 was just an excuse.

Quite possible..... however I can assure you we scream his name in the light and dark quite often.... usually with some colourful words attached for no extra charge......... :facepalm:
