N scale Tunnel Motors?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if there are any plans for an EMD SD40T-2 or SD45T-2 tunnel motor, to be made anytime soon in N scale. Kato or Atlas or Life Like maybe?? I've seen the brass models and they look excellent. They are expensive though. Does anyone have a review on those brass tunnel motors too? Anyone have any info, Thanks, Pete

I admit this is not a direct answer, however if you go to Kato's website "katousa.com" there is a place where you can make a request for an N scale model. I guess if we got enough N scale Tunnel Motor fans together to vote on this, Kato might come through!?!

Rumors fly that Tunnel Motors are soon to be released by one of the manufacturers, perhaps E-R Models, the just released the Baldwin Sharks. That they WILL be done is indicated by the fact that ALKEM postponed its plans to make a modification kit. I'd say the odds are better than 50-50 there will be a tinnel motor by the end of this year. Unfortunately, I can think of hundreds of other models I'd rather see, like Baldwin switchers!

Hi Pete!

Look mate I know that Athearn Make SD40T-2's in HO scale, but as for N scale I can't say! I would follow the advice of Lisa and Greg and just wait. Their should be one in the pipeline soon!
