Just like the FA, RS3, and pacific aristo has announced a new C-16[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]. Not much info but their may be new paint schemes[;)]. The motor is being reworked as well as some new parts. I'll be getting some of these![8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]

I hope they address the scale dilema with that unit. Its way to small for use with any other narrow gauge manufacturer. Just try running a couple of LGB or Bachmann passenger cars behind it and it looks puny, like the diminuative loco's that pull the trains at Disneyland, 2/3's what they should be.
I believe they are supposed to be 1:29 scale but that makes them pretty odd looking next to say a Bachmann Connie.
I dont think they will rescale it though, even though in the long run they would sell a heck of lot more of them if they were 1:20.3. That would be way too logical.
Oh well, I look forward to seeing the "new and improved" version.
Have fun with your trains
