And Milwaukee Road, and GM&O. These are the roads that traded in old Alcos on new GP30's and kept the Alco trucks. If MTH makes one in Milwaukee Road with the correct trucks, I'll buy it. Not sure if I'd bother if they don't put the Alco trucks on it.

The crew members have mentioned that the ALCo trucks rode very rough on the tracks. The Blomberg trucks were a better ride. They should have ordered the Blomberg trucks from EMD.

With my luck, all of it will be in the catalog at the same time.

 

In Rail King:

ATSF GP9

 

And just for John Pignatelli, a Penn-Central "Steasel" comprised of a Baldwin AS616 with a Vanderbilt Tender.

Penn Central!!! Blasphemy!!! No worms on my Layout in a million years!!!  Tenders on Diesels, what you been smoking???

I'd go for the combination door boxcar in SIRT's photos, as well as the 3-dome tanker. By the way, Atlas made a kit of that boxcar with both plug and sliding doors back in the Bev-Bel days. The UP car in the second photo might be from that kit - or not. I have an unbuilt one that I'm going to put together one of these days and letter just like the Milwaukee Road one in the first photo. 

O' the humanities, one day before the release and not a single tease ,sorry Charlie RS- does not count. MTH must have a guy with a baseball bat standing behind the dealers, every time Charlie goes near the computer he starts to pick up the bat  saying, "I don't think you wanta do dat!" I can see it now. 

I can truly say we become very lack in this old hacking game,once we were the best,  even I figured it out once but alas we have fallen in our bi yearly quest to get into the goodies.

So I guess we must all wait till tomorrow, BUT WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT!!!

Ahhh but for the good old days when we drove the boys at MTH nuts.

John...I think MTH started to water board people in the know. We need some leaks!?! 

 

Do you think MTH can hire Edward Snowden? 

 

Please be lite!!! I have so much on pre-order it frightens me!!

I would hope for some plug door boxcars too.

Hopefully those people that told me how negative I was being will contact me and apologize once they look through the catalog. Granted my comment about scale wheel cancelations was a bit tongue in cheek, but I was spot on with the rest.

Coming late into the thread, I was going to guess that the offerings were going to be based on the same long ago defunct Eastern roads, will be increasingly expensive which could be called cynicism in the face of enthusiasm. Maybe it's predictability...as the hobby continues to narrow it's scope in order to hedge it's bets. Those of us who wait for models of prototypes that the manufacturer's guess will not sell, can either have fifteen copies of the same example or go into HO..
