Read my lips: NO NEW LOCOS!  ;)

One per year is what you get.  IIRC, the email just said something about all new tooling.  But keep on dreaming...  :lol:

Pete loses, but we win.   :trollface:

I'm going to actually buy something out of my 1957 era and get a couple of  phase 2 versions.

Walthers has them listed but no passenger sets yet.  I'd probably only buy a whole set so we'll see if they offer one.

Wonder what they will use for passenger sets behind them, depending on that I may pick up one. Wonder if they plan on doing the Santa Fe rebuild versions ever.

I'm quite OK with that. In fact, I'll be buying few of those myself (and selling all the Athearn FP45s I bought in hopes of making them into something close to this loco). So, I'm winning too.  :)

But if I was to split hairs I would have to say that this is not a 2015 model since it will not be released til mid-2016.  :P

I'll wait for the Phase III scheme and happily use two SDP40Fs as foobies on my Amtrak Auto Train in place of the P30CHs that I doubt we'll ever see in N scale.

Isn't the light between the number boards only used in emergencies?  I wonder why it is illuminated on that locomotive?
