BNSF SD60M's

I'm surprised no one has posted anything about the latest run of Atlas SD60's and SD60M's being out. I picked up the two BNSF versions on Friday. They both look great. I am impresses with the fact that Atlas did both the H1 and H2 paint schemes. The SD60 in KCS looks really good to. May have to go back and adopt one soon. Oh well, anyone else glad to see these new toys?

 

I sure was surprised when I walked into my local train store and seen the new SD-60s after being told by the store owner a few weeks ago that they probably wouldn't be in until late July or August. So naturally I didn't bring anywhere near the kind of money I would need to buy two of those KCS locos. One of the sales associates said there would be no problem to put two aside for me.
I'll be there when the doors open on Mon. morning.
I did get to try them out while I was there and wasn't to crazy about the noise they made, but I guess I'll have to put up with it because I've been waiting for a KCS release for a long time.

 

Just got my SD60m (CSX). It was a late birhday(6 months late .Early father's day present from my better half. It is sweeeeeeeeeet.

Is it any wonder I am broke?????

 

What can you pass on to us with regard to the new SD60s.

I to have ordered a BNSF 9299 and a KCS version.
Do they run differently from the last versions? do they pull any better? I noticed they still do not have ditch lights which is a shame.

Has anyone else heard of some SD60's being sold minus a gear in either front or rear truck?
