So the're not offering it in N? (For those who have room for such an engine....)
So Athearn/Genesis is bringing out the SP&S version of the 4-6-6-4?
Hmmmm' wondering whether they may also give us the Great Northern version?
Ahhhh....!!!! Always western roads!
How about an accurately modeled D&H challenger!

This has to be good news for NP/GN/SP&S modelers in all scales. The fact that it's HO shouldn't be a downer because it's obvious that Athearn has an interest in those roads of the Northwest. If the HO version is successful, a future N scale version could possibly follow.
GHQ has (or had) a kit in their line to convert an N scale UP 4-6-6-4 to a Z-8. They also have (or had) a kit to convert a Kato N scale USRA Mikado to a W-3. All is not lost.
