Any knowledge of when the new Atlas catalog is coming out? I'm hoping to see it before the Lionel catalog preorders are due so I can make decisions about what to get or not.

I* have no idea, altho i wouldnt be surprised if it comes out this week or next week.

I would love to buy a P47 but I need scale wheels. Just last month I bought a book on the Blue Comet and I really wished I would have bought the Blue Comet the last time it was offered when they did offer a scale wheel version.

My Green Mountains GP9s came in and they’re absolutely incredible! MTH mounted the bell in the right location as well.

Very nice locomotive!

Im going to ask MTH about doing these in 2 rail.  My guess is that I wint be able to get enought orders.  They would only allow 1 paint scheme anyway..so it would have to be one of the black ones.

This for posting the pic Eric..

Beth, thank you very much for trying but when last catalogued it was the black engine “Queen of the Valley” that I ordered. Back then I saw a bunch of the Blue Comet engines on the secondary market. It seemed like they were everywhere but now you never see them.

So I am sorry but I would not order another one of what I already have.

Someone told me MTH was considering bringing back scale wheeled engines. I don’t know if they meant only diesels or both steam and diesel but I bet you’re right-they probably just don’t get enough orders of the “-2” engines to make it worthwhile for them.

I'll see what MTH says.
