ScaleTrains announcement 4/27

From their FB:

N Scalers: our photographer just wrapped-up pictures of our next four N scale announcements - WOW! These models have the potential to set new standards for ready-to-run detail.

We'll announce our first two freight cars next Thursday evening (4/27) followed-by two rolling stock announcements in late May and our first diesel locomotive announcement at the National N Scale Convention in Pittsburgh this June.

There is a lot to like in that posting!  I wonder what they mean by differentiating rolling stock from freight cars? 

But what I really hope for is a mini-me T4 GEVO  :D

Looking at their HO offerings, which are likely fodder for n scale products, I wonder if the SD40-2 might possible?  I'd prefer the T4, but there is enough room for three SD40-2 models, especially given how few of IM's have actually emerged.

I though in their 2017 preview show they said the N scale locomotive was something that had not been done in N scale ever. I may be wrong on that, however,

That rings a bell for me too.  You could be right.  OK, T4 it is :D

They also did say here and elsewhere that if they make a N scale SD40-2 it won't be the first announcement...

Excited to see what the announcement is.  :D Alco RS27? (he wishes)

I can always wish for that ALCo C-415...but I bet it will be a modern locomotive.

Given their container offerings (of which I have far too many now...), I'm going to guess that one of the cars is a 53' well car.  I could be wrong, but I'd love to be right.  :)

Since they seem to be into oddball and low-production locos maybe they'll make

. . . 42 . . .

If they do a T4, that would be another motivation to build Walonger....  :D
