Posted by wctransfer on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 8:49 AM
I know all of you are awaiting a certain model. I knew Athearn was comin out with MP15AC's and GP38-2's. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, i went to the site last night and found a bunch of new stuff coming out! Me , the one im buying will be the WC GP38-2, but im awaiting the SD40's to. Ill probably get a SOO one if they make one. What is the model(s) your eyeing right now.

I'm in N-scale, and I hear that Atlas is release a new RS11 around January. That will be on my list. I have some of the last release, which are 10 years old. "Modernizing," tuning them up and coverting them over to DCC is going to wait until I see the new releases.

I'll be working into a three-truck Shay and a fleet of Spectrum 4-6-0's. I was hoping someone would come out with a 2-6-2 saddle tanker, but alas. I've got a couple 0-6-0 that I'm going to kitbash when I get a round tuit.

What I want is small, affordable, sound decoders!

Live up to my dreams Digitrax.

The Model Power 2-6-0 in N would be nice, once they get the bugs worked out (or maybe I'll have to do it). The Bachmann Spectrum Decapod in N should be awesome too. It'll be the biggest monster on the layout. Might even HAVE to get two.

I'm hoping that someday soon Atlas will rerelease their "Buffalo & Pittsburgh" GP-38. Can't find any of the original release available.

DC's? Not to flame, but why would you want that garbage? AC is the way to go.

I recently discovered that my new 4-6-4 Hudson from IHC will only pull 5 passenger cars up the grade ( 2.1%) at the club layout, so I'll probably have to order a SECOND one and have a dual 4-6-4 consist set up for my C&NW passenger fleet. All the guys at the club were saying how cool the green livery looked on the IHC engine, so TWO would probably be just brillant!!
Now to find a decoder or two to install.......

Dude why not just go for the B-man 2-8-0? its about the same price, runs, looks and pulls better. Plus the paint scheme is more prototypical.
