If Don Brown can announce new stuff for N scale, I guess I can tell all y'all (Texan for everybody) about the new stuff from Athearn: Athean website Check out the Bombardier cars for your favorite commuter rail agencies. Now if the blue-box boys can paint an F59PHI for Trinity Rail Express to match the cars...hint hint.....
Wow! I hadn't seen the Miami Tri-Rail scheme before, that is an absolutely Fabulous paintjob with a great looking model!!! Looks Amazing. I'm tempted to get a set, but I want to know what direction our next layout will take first! And yeah, I think they have some catching up to do on the F59 production...Trinity and Coaster (at least) have them but haven't been modelled yet...Metrolink they have made already. Don't know about the rest.
I've been told by my new train pusher in Addison (Discount Trains) that Athearn will be releasing the F59PHI next spring in TRE colors. This is good, but it's kinda like the cart before the horse.
