I have a dealer request in to pre-order 2 IC and 1 ICG pumpkin - hoping that there will be more in the next round...

IF we see these or the SD38s get to market before 2020 I would lose a bet.


I asked about the SD 38-2's today, and was told they are scheduled for late 18 or early 19.
I really hope you lose that bet! ;)

Any news on all the F Units that's been announced? The FT's were due in June 2015, and they still haven't been delivered.

I've no interest in the Geeps, but I'm excited IMRC is branching out. That being said, IMRC seems to have some serious production issues that it can't seem to work out; and that has me worried about its stability as a manufacturer.


For my needs, I just wish they'd regularly stock F units in undec so I can just paint them myself rather than wait (and wait, and wait) for my (container) ship to come in.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I'll have to watch myself as I could be suckered into a CC patch unit.



Or even a Iowa Northern.



Add a fugly IANR (ex-BN) and I could model this in Waterloo.

When they announce the Illinois Central unit, I'll go for that one.

That is so cool that soon these will be available RTR in N scale. I wonder if any of CR's came up to Toronto on CPBU/BUCP?

Yet no Atlas N scale GP40-2W... ffs.

Good Evening,

I've attached the link to the flyer which will be hanging in the train room  :D

http://www.intermountain-railway.com/reservationflyers/RF1117NGP10.htm

I might have to purchase CR 7560 and or 7563 since the GP10's appeared to have frequented former RDG Territory quite a bit.

Lehigh Valley even had one. I remember seeing it leading the Sayre-Binghamton Run.

Nice to see them doing this, no use to me, but it raises hopes for an SP chop nosed 9 in RTR

I guess the big drawback on the chop nose was the variability between roads.  They are promising road specific details, but the biggest visual difference in many cases is the nose and cab, with round-ish, old GM traditional, toaster edges, etc.  I hope they can engineer in some flexibility to produce at least some significant variations rather than go all in on the GP 10.

In general, damn, but good for them.  I am really hoping to buy no more locomotives, but their sound SD40-2 is great, may get more.  Always wanted a chop nose, as the perfect switcher for my switching layout.  Atlas and their IHB GP38-2 and new Alco 630 is also on the list.

I guess we never stop buying the good stuff.....we may just slow down in our old age.

the SP never chopped a nose. All of the Southern Pacific GP9 low noses came from the factory like that.
