What new releases are stored for Athearn?

[Anonymous]

I visited Athearn website, I noticed it looks empty if compared to the older versions. Does anybody know if their SD40s, SD40T-2s, DD40, GP38, GP40, GP50, GP60, GP60M A and B, Mikado, GP9, etc, will be phased out to give place to similar ones with improved cast tooling? Also does anyone know any change on their passenger car line?

Athearn is passing through a massive change. I would not buy any R-T-R line product which tooling hasn't been replaced for a modern one. By the way their GP35 and SD45-T2 are looking great![:)]

I would like to enjoy the same sensation you are getting with those Athearn locos. I have a doubt about which hobby store has the cheapest prices in the USA. Could you suggest me some?
