I will finally be able to stop pulling my Amtrack Superliners, with Conrail loco's They say March/April, anyone want to take bets on a delivery date? Bill
Thanks Don! This is great news for N-Scale!!! I'm sure they'll sell out instantly. One thing I noticed on Kato's site that I thought was very cool... "MHC-2 cars are expected to be equipped with trucks that have pickup contacts. This will facilitate modeler installation of aftermarket End of Train / Flashing Rear End Devices (EOT/FRED). " Pretty nifty....
Great news!!!!! Its about time. Now, how many people think they will see these starting in March/April. If they do deliver on schedule it would be a great way to spend a tax return . Now if deluxe gets those roadrailers released life will be good! Great work KATO! Bryan
Good Grief! All these new releases in April! I already have 2 Atlas Dash8-40B's in CSX on order. Now I gotta somehow come up with another $400 or so on an Amtrak train? I gotta get another part time job to finance all this stuff.
I think Atlas and Kato are going to have to start working out a power-by-the-hour arrangement for us, like BN did with EMD and GE. I'm thinking 5 cents per hour would be ok.
I just do as the 1:1 scale folks do and sell the old and tired (In my case the SD45's) to finance the new Brian
<big> WHERE IS THE VIA? Where is the Phase V?</big> I would have liked this release alot more if they had more veriaty than just two paint schemes when there are about 8 that I know of. Kato has done that many before, so why not now?? Thanks for any info, Dane
