We were recently pleased to finally get an up to date version(s) of the beloved Alco S series switchers. Bachmann loco is scheduled to be out later this month, according to BLW. But any word when the Atlas loco will be released??? Thanks, Joe D
We just got the first running sample yesterday, there are still some tweaks needed to the tooling. It is going to be some time in 2013 before the first run gets here, but we hope to make the announcement of road names and other details during 2012.
Thanks Paul. We've waited so long for these, a little more of a wait to get bugs out will not be noticed.
I'm sure Santa Fe will be on the road name list, zebra stripes would be nice but so would blue and yellow. Whichever you do first don't be like Kato with the NW2 and keep me waiting until I'm on my deathbed for the other.
These releases could be just what the economy needs! Everyone wants a few in their favorite flavors. I'm sure in time, all will be happy. Or you do your own custom/fave scheme. Richie (UP1950's) had a sign-off,"make ALCo's, make $" The Man is right.
I don't usually join in on these threads, but Canadian Pacific in script lettering would be lovely! Dave
I have a feeling that this loco will only be second in number of units to the GP7s on my pike. I think the demand for undecs. will be high.
