Disregard... I don't get the emails, and when I looked at the website, I only saw the Altoona... Now I see the other two..

So only one.number? Well crud. I believe the trucks are correct though so that's a big plus. Earlier today the rumor was can opener with and without frame stripes and the USCF one. Granted 1992 was the first year I was a licensed USCF weekend warrior I already painted an SD50 to commemorate that. Did 6373 even roam the system like 6726 did? I've only seen photos of it in the Altoona area. I was so looking forward to replacing the IM CR SD40-2's I have. I'm not gettin' any younger. But I will likely spring for it. I should have the layout up by then and to show Scaletrains we need more Conrail.

There are two normal ones in the run, they just haven't put them on their website.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

The announcement says they're doing them, but website doesn't.

Come on guys!

Take my money.

Are you guys looking at the right place? It’s clearly on their website…?

[daniel_leavitt2000]

They sent the email as they were updating the website. I posted this about 30 seconds after I received the email.

They will be doing the Altoona job plus short big can opener, full can opener and the 89/90 white stripe.

I have to take a look at the numbers to make sure they do not overlap any of my I'M or Kato units.

It was like this for a few hrs.

Mmmm... Milwaukee Road!

Hopefully they do Soo Line (in the early red and white) at some point in the future.
Would be awesome to have some vanilla to go with the orange sherbert!

I received the email yesterday as well but accidentally deleted it during a phone call. I was only able to glance over the email quickly.  The website took awhile to have the rest of the offerings listed. So I wasn't just seeing things. My wallet just cringed but I am happy. Probably shouldn't be getting ready to go to a train show this morning though. Poor poor wallet.

No UP, BN, or BNSF? Surely the world truly is ending. 

The Bandit scheme looks interesting.

Oh crap: https://www.scaletrains.com/rivet-counter-n-scale-emd-sd40-2-norfolk-western-large-nw.html

These road numbers are from a 66 unit order built first half of 1975. These will be the first N Scale SD40-2s with correct trucks for N&W.

(yes, I am placing an order!)

Well this is frustrating - It looks like every number they chose was repainted by 1998. So I have to pass on all of them.
