From the Altas Forum, this is a quote of a post by Marty of Intermountain Okay, Okay, Okay. . . . . I hear you guys. I was going to wait a couple of weeks for this but I spoke with my bosses yesterday and they agreed to let me announce InterMountain's next N scale locomotive after the Tunnel Motors will be . . . . The VO1000 (sorry Paul, only joking!!!) SERIOUSLY . . . . The F UNIT SERIES in N Scale. PLEASE don't hound your dealers just yet as they don't know about it yet. . . . I'll come back with more details when we have them worked out. We've been talking about these for a year (since I started here) and Paul and Charlie both know and they've done a good job keeping their mouths shut!!! Now they don't have to. Yes, the F3 will be first. Marty Martin McGuirk VP - Product Development InterMountain Railway Company
Ahhhhh thank you thank you thank you! Now I can quit whining about no F's!!!!! Please remember the Southern Pacific (as I'm sure you will)
And a critical question for those of us up North. Will Intermountain realize that there are Canadian Railroads and produce F units reflecting the Canadian experience.
*sings* Hallelujiah!!!!!!! Marty, you just made the day for N scalers around the globe! I know, because I am deployed with the USAF, halfwayaround the world. Anyways, I alreay plan to spend some of my re-enlistment bonus of these F's..... I have 5 requests for roadnames: NP Lowey Green GN Big Sky Blue GN Empire Builder CB&Q freight and passenger Burlington Northern NOW I'll have matching engines for my trains.... Time to finish that GN Great Dome conversion..... My blood runs Black and Green with a touch of Orange! Thank you! Thank you!
Well now, black & yellow (Frisco style) would look nice! Will also go well with those LL FAs in Frisco colors, too.
Something I noticed on the Atlas forum: Marty was taken to task by certain individuals for posting on that forum about future releases. Well, here's an open invite to Marty: If you feel uncomfortable posting on the Atlas Forum, even after Paul Graf has given you the green light, you're perfectly free to come here to Trainboard anytime!! All we ask is that your company pump out them Fs!!
