Atlas September Announcements N Scale

[Atlas Paul]

I have notified the Product Development guys.

The road number had already been changed to 6020.

Thanks Paul!

Damn, I was hoping for 6024. That would've gotten me off the sidelines on these since I bought that slide because of the leader...

A bit off topic but I was wondering how reissuing the former-BLMA air horns is going.

I was also hoping for CR 6024, which was why I included the link to that particular photo.  I have not been able to locate any photos of 6020 in blue yet.  I will be in for 6012 in this release at a minimum.  CR 6040 will require relocating the air horn above the conductor's side of the cab.  Maybe that one too.  Thanks.

1. It says: Atlas N BX-177 Box Car New Model!

Is this a (completely) new model, or a rerun of the BLMA model, meaning that it is new to Atlas? I am considering to buy the BLMA rerun.

2. The problem with the small .jpg pictures for me is that it is impossible to tell the BUILT DATE on the model. In the past, Atlas sometimes posted the BLT date in the explanation below, but has stopped to do so. I won't buy certain models with very early built dates.

Still time to sponsor a special run!!!! 

[Ngineer]

It's a completely new model.

Thank you!

I miss the pdf flyers that BLMA would publish in advance,
giving lots of background information regarding new models.

Not much info out about the BX-177, which apparently was built (by ATSF shops?) in 1975.

There used to be a good ATSF site for this info, but I can't find it.

I am sure that Atlas knows.

A Triton container!  OMG.    

Man, expensive announcements for me, especially since an SP SD35 is still on my list of locomotives I 'need'.

Oh, and as many of those Santa Fe BX-177s as I can afford.

Paul,

Can you look into the Chessie WM SD35 numbers also?

They are repeats of the previously issued WM Circus-scheme units.

Thanks,

Western Maryland only had five SD35's, so Atlas has to repeat road numbers, considering they've done 2-3 road numbers in all 3 paint schemes the WM SD35's wore (Speedletter, Circus, Chessie).

Just my problem then since the only ones I have are 7435 and 7434.

Hearing nothing about the new run of N GP9s, which were due out by now. DCC versions wanted.
