I should stop complaining about product availability and selection in 2R. This is my 2nd new 2R FXE locomotive this year, including an Atlas SD70ACE.
The LokSound system sounds great, and it creeps.
Looking forward to the Chargers.

My Ferromex unit just arrived along with my NS, UP, & CN variants for a fully North American consist. Can't wait to open the boxes. Love the SD40-2 next to your SD70!

Very nice. I'd like to see the pics when you're ready.

I'd like to see that consist also.
Great work on the livery and colors!
The pictures look very nice. What a great time to be in 2 rail scale!
I really glad some of y'all ordered the Ferromex. Jonathan and I guaranteed the minimum and it could have gotten expensive otherwise. We thought there were others out there.

You risk is much appreciated, I was curious how it survived into production while a couple of US roads didn't.
Any ideas on how we can convince someone to make an FXE, NdeM, or Ferro Sur caboose? FXE painted a caboose similar to the SD70 above.
Decals to convert the Atlas NdeM boxcars to FXE are also on my list.
Nice looking locomotives!
K4 Supply has a modern version (speed script) decal set in O for the NdeM's large fleet of Extended Vision Caboose, which were very close to the ubiquitous Atlas-Roco version. They also have a variety of pre-privatization Mexican road sets from the 70's, 80's era for 50' ribbed boxcars similar to the Weaver PS version, in NdM, FCP, CHP and UdS. Maybe he'll make the leap to FXE and Ferro Sur offerings soon too.
Right now I'm hoping, if there is a 2nd run, to get the Gray/red stripe FXE scheme.
And now, after watching Virtual Railfan yesterday, to get Atlas to do the new Ferromex version of their Multimax auto racks.
