N scale model railroader
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.

Ahhhh....!!!! Always western roads!
How about an accurately modeled D&H challenger!

Modeling in HO...Reading and Conrail together in an alternate history.
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?
So the're not offering it in N? (For those who have room for such an engine....)

Just be glad you don't have to press "2" for English.
