Reposted from the N Scale forum at Yahoo ______ Dan from Sunrise asked about the chassis/fuel tank configuration in the photo of the new Atlas N LMX GE Dash 8-40B shown here: http://www.atlasrr.com/highlights/images/48713.gif _______ This differs from the chassis/fuel tank configuration in the photo of the new Atlas N UP GE Dash 8-40B shown here: http://www.atlasrr.com/highlights/images/48726.gif _______ The chassis/fuel tank arrangement on the Atlas N LMX unit looks mighty similar to the Amtrak P32-8 507 shown here: http://lib2.clark.cc.oh.us/amtrak/amtP32-8/amt507b.jpg The LMX N photo also matches the Atlas HO P32-8 chassis/fuel tank arrangement shown here: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/150-9074 _______ What'cha got up your sleeve, Paul Graf?? 8=) eNquiring minds want to know.......
Hasn't it been good practice to look at what Atlas does in the "other" scale as a guide. Didn't they do these in HO? Along with the Dash 8-40BW in Warbonnet. I sure hope so! This has also seemed to work vice versa with other units started in N and then produced in HO. Lets keep our fingers crossed could we actually get 2 modern passenger locomotives in one year. I gotta go start praying now...
