Here is some info from one of Atlas's recent loco announcements: <br /> <br />ITEM# ROAD NAME ROAD NUMBER <br />HO Dash 8-40C Locomotive - Atlas Master Gold Series <br />(With Decoder & Sound) <br />9695 Undecorated (Phase 1) <br />9696 Undecorated (Phase 2) <br />9622 Chicago & North Western† "Wyoming Centennial" (Traditional Yellow/Green) 8542 <br />9623 Chicago & North Western† (Traditional Yellow/Green) 8567 <br />9624 Chicago & North Western† "Safety & Reliability" (Traditional Yellow/Green) 8577 <br />9625 Chicago & North Western† (Traditional Yellow/Green) No # <br />9626 Conrail Quality (Blue/White) 6025 <br />9627 Conrail Quality (Blue/White) 6048 <br />9628 Conrail Quality (Blue/White) No# <br />9629 CSX* (Gray/Blue) 7511 <br />9630 CSX* (Gray/Blue) 7534 <br />9631 CSX* (Gray/Blue) No# <br />9632 Norfolk Southern (Black/White) 8712 <br />9633 Norfolk Southern "Horsehead" (Black/White) 8742 <br />9634 Norfolk Southern (Black/White) No # <br />9635 Union Pacific† "Baby Wings" (Yellow/Gray/Red) 9077 <br />9636 Union Pacific† "Baby Wings" (Yellow/Gray/Red) 9091 <br />9637 Union Pacific† "Baby Wings" (Yellow/Gray/Red) No# <br /> <br />*CSX Licensed Product <br />†Union Pacific Licensed Product <br /> <br />To find a dealer to order your HO DASH 8-40C Locomotives, click here. <br /> <br />Estimated Delivery: September 2005 <br />Atlas Master™ Series Silver MSRP: $134.95 <br />Atlas Master™ Series Gold MSRP: $244.95 <br /> <br />As you can see, there is no difference in price between, say NS or undec (not licensed) and UP or CSX - both licnesed. Atlas has incorporated the fees (UP and CSX) into the cost of the models - ALL of them !!! <br /> <br />Walthers does the same thing with the AMTRAK Phase V license fee. <br /> <br />I bet soon all makers will handle it this way - the fee will be invisable except for the "licensed product" statement. <br /> <br />Even Athearn - who was charging the fee a good while before they started paying it to UP (did they keep the money or finally pay it to UP, I wonder ???) - will end up doing it this way, I bet. <br /> <br />BTW, there is no extra charge at the dealer, either (in this case, M.B. Klein, MTS): <br /> <br />150-7639 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND CSX #7501 $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7640 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND CSX #7521 $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7641 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND CSX NO# $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7642 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND NS #8300 $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7643 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND NS #8735 (HORSEHEAD) $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7644 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND NS NO# $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7645 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND UP #9067 (BABY WINGS) <br />150-7646 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND UP #9073 (BABY WINGS) $134.95 $89.99 <br />150-7647 Atlas - (R) DASH 8-40C LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT DECODER & NO SOUND UP NO# (BABY WINGS) <br /> <br />Not bad prices from MTS! <br />
