    Does anybody have a new SD35 that they'd like to do a "mini review" on? I heard they were finally hitting the streets.

    Paul Graf from Atlas said they have shipped some already... at least one person on the Atlas forum said they got theirs today.
    So....

    It's great this got started here, but all reviews should be posted at the "Inspection Pit". When someone really wants to give us the straight poop, post it there please. [​IMG]

    BTW, I'm with Alan on this one. Us BNSF guys are immune to the Borg and SD35's as they will be shipped. But I could always cut one up into something else...HAHAHAHAHAHA! [​IMG] IT IS ALIVE! IT IS ALIVE! (Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstien" or is it "stein"?) [​IMG]

    No Dane, you're wrong. Read the discription, you'll see it says reviews too. That's why it's called "The Inspection Pit". [​IMG]

    Sorry, I take the blame for this one... I admit that I have rarely stepped foot outside the "N scale" pages.

    No harm done, but that's why we started that forum. A one stop News, Information and Reviews place. Most of the posts have been about train shows, but it's for new release announcements and reviews too. Besides, no one has really reviewed it yet.

    How much did Atlas pay you to say that? [​IMG]

    Come on bnfan99, you know that those will be done in the High hood version first. Not good for us BNSF fans, but it will work for you. (Side note: I'll be at Ad-land Friday night, finishing up Gridley. Stop up if you can.) I guess they will do the Short hoods later. CM, I can testify that Atlas paid bnfan99 ZERO to say that! Trust me.... [​IMG]
