What those guys said.... I'm leaving $1000 in my pocket unless the numbers change so the numbers on the locomotive reflect the model being made. 

Want suggestions? I'd really love to see the one spot (#1) and the last one (#207), but anything in between would be fine.

Change at least one of them to a P42 number and I'll order it before the ink dries on the change notice.

 

In the alternative, is there a hobby shop out there that wants to make a custom run locomotive number? 

Gents,

Here is a copy of the email I sent to MTH. I am placing it here so those that want can copy and paste it in their own email to MTH customer service to help further the cause. I will give them a call next week to provide more detail on the numbers and the reason for the request. I also plan on seeing them in Milwaukee next week in person at Trainfest! Thanks, Pete

 

Hi MTH!
Would you please consider changing the numbers on the upcoming Amtrak Genesis Phase V paint scheme locos? Item 20-20758-1. Please see the link to a discussion from the OGR Forum.

Thanks for taking a look!
Pete

John, MTH are changing the numbers as we've requested so no need to berate them any further. You must not have seen my post above  

 They are great since they listen to their customers and work with us!!! Thanks MTH.

Has it been put in writing anywhere (notice to dealers, catalog edits, etc)? Its great that they say they'll do it, but I dont really want to throw money at an oral agreement....

While I was at Trainfest Andy went online to show me the catalog as he thought they updated it to reflect the new numbers but he couldn't find it on their internal web site. He was adamant that they were very aware of the number problem and that the final product will have numbers in the range we want. 

I placed an order for both on his word.

MTH's O Gauge Newsletter email of Feb 15, 2017 has the Monthly 2017 v1 Catalog Spotlight on the P42 Genesis.  If they intend to change the road numbers to somewhere in the 1 to 207 range, they have not updated their product graphic yet.

No need to worry. I called MTH last week and they confirmed the numbers have been changed but not updated on the catalog photos.
