Thanks Everyone. ------------------ Best Regards, Andrew Wallice Matheson, grandtrunkent@RRmail.com
I've been to Life-Like's web site and there is NO mention of any NEW FA1's in N-scale. I'm sure what you are seeing is Old FA1's that are custom painted and I'd bet they don't have a new drive in them. However, the rumor mill says this is going to happen soon with all of LL's past releases, but not yet... ------------------ RAILROADING-TO-THE-MAX, Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Style!

One of our hobby shops here in Sydney has had a pre-release reservation notice up on their board for the last 3+ months announcing the FA-1A/B by Life-Like. It states the release as November 2000. Maybe they are re-doing it with a new-style mechanism afterall? I guess we'll have to wait and see on this one! yes, yes... Maroon and Dulux Gold Soo units Gary. ------------------ Gary A.

Aww gee Brent, those couldn't be the old units with new or custom paint jobs cause LL hasn't done them yet.The first ones they did were FA-2s.The new ones are FA-1s.But at least there will be another Alco on thge market. Yup still havin' FUN!! ------------------ Catt!#118 [This message has been edited by Catt (edited 09 July 2000).]
