Hardly seems fair- 15 minutes before they start and they already have a down vote.  Must be a jealous HO guy.

I figure it's a GG1.....they don't make it in HO, and the GG1 must be required for membership in the manufacturer's association.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

A "standard turbine". Good news for some I guess.

Congrats to UP fans. 

LOL on the "new standard in road specific details"- with it only being owned by one road.

Well, looks like this ain't my year to actually buy a Scaletrains loco.  One day, maybe.  Enjoy, UP fans!

I'm sure ScaleTrains will sell bunches, but UP turbines aren't for me.

No kidding, my wallet is safe. Looks neat but not something in my era or something I've got enough interest into have anyway.

UP Turbine thingys.  Well, they surprised me by just missing my era by only about 12 months, but it is also about 1,500 miles too far west.  Maybe next time.

It's a neat model but I'm not so sure it's the best way to make a ton of money in the industry.

But then again, I don't sell trains to pay my mortgage anymore.
