Hi,
Since no one has a spare MP15DC for sale has Atlas given any idea of a release date for the locos with the new paint schemes?
Guess this might be the only way to get one.
Regards Daryl

Send them an email and ask. I would, but ..... every time I do, its bad news. 
Still "1st Quarter 2017" on the shipping schedule.
Hi Daryl,
I may have a spare mp15dc to sell but there are some issues. First, everything is in storage at the moment, although I expect that to change soon. Secondly, I'm not even quite sure whether I have a new gold version in my pile. I've bought a bunch of the switchers as kitbash fodder, and haven't always been concerned with 2-rail versus 3-rail or powered versus unpowered. Also, you say paint scheme doesn't matter, but what about shell style? There are three hood configurations. Do you care which style hood is on the unit?
If you have a month to wait til I have things out of storage, I'll be happy to check my stash.

Daryl,
When I phoned Atlas last July(2016), the customer service lady told me that MP15DC's would produced sometime in 2017 and she didn't have any further information. Dave Minarik of Mercer Junction also spoke with them about the same time and was told that the MP15DC's would be produced but don't look for them anytime soon, whatever that means. I have heard nothing since then about these engines-forget about that Atlas shipping schedule. I have heard rumblings at different times that Atlas has sufficient orders for only a couple of the advertised roadnames and not enough orders for the other roadnames to go into production.

Hi Jim,
That's great to hear. Once again I'm not fussed about the body shell, but if you can let me know what schemes you have in the Gold series if you have any and I'll let you know which one I want.
Thanks kindly Daryl
