I know Athearn has the ACe's covered and all they are doing (at least for now) is AC4400's instead of gevos because the tooling is not ready. I have heard rumors on different forums about Atlas making HO heritage gevos but i can't find anything on their website. Intermountain had something too but I'm not sure if that was HO or N scale. Does anyone know who will be producing the NS Gevos's?
As I understand it, Athearn will be doing the GEVO's, but they are only painting what they currently have. In other words, they are not going to do any retooling, so the models will not be really representative of the prototypes.
Intermountain is suppose to announce the Heritage GEVO's next month. Supposedly, they will be representative of the prototypes.
I haven't heard anything about Atlas. But I would be surprised if they did, what with Athearn and Intermountain already in the ball game.
Although Athearn will probably have something on the market first, I think I will wait for the Intermountain releases. I'm especially interested in the Pennsylvania and the Monongahela. Maybe with a dash of Southern thrown into the pot as well.

True, but there is a video out there somewhere with an Athearn rep discussing the upcoming Heritage paint schemes. In it he states that the Heritage GEVO's will be done at a later date. So according to him, they are planning on doing them. Tom
(EDIT) Now that I think about it, it may be a video from the "Cody's Office" series.
(SECOND EDIT) A couple of hours ago, I received an e-mail from MTH which stated they are working on the details for SD70ACe's painted in the Heritage scheme with a delivery expected to be in late 2012. No mention however, of GEVO's.
