You think they'll consider making an SD90MAC in their Ready-To-Roll line? I bet if they did, it would be great!![:)] And if they weighted it like they did with the SD45T-2, it could out-pull a Hobbytown diesel![:D]

there might be a faint possibilty, since all theer ever was was the Kato sd90/43mac, and the overland brass ones, i could see it coming out.

No. I asked them once. And Athearn has no plans on making an SD90MAC.

That's the same thing they said about the SD70MAC's.......they ended up coming out. Athearn basically says "we don't have any plans......" to everything you ask them about the possibility of future products.
