Bowser C628

Wondering if there's any feedback or reviews for the new Bowser C&NW ALCO C628 models that finally arrived and appear to have sold out quickly?  

I am looking forward to picking up a couple in the D&H scheme as they amongst my favorite railfanning memories when I was younger, and I will be tying in the D&H into my EL Scranton yard for the interchange operational potential.

And if there's any information out there on the expected timing for these releases in other road names I'd appreciate it.   I realize the factory in China caused alot of delays but I would think some clearer communication by the manufacturers would help their customers and their business.  Big fan of Bowser locos but information from them on timing of releases leaves room for improvement.

I love Alcos!

Trainworld says the Lehigh Valley will be here in Sept, along with the RS3's in numerous road names.  I gave up on the RS3's a long time ago.

The Bowser Faceplant page says nothing about other road names.  I missed them on the Virtural Train Show last night.  James Wright may have a summary of the event, or not.
