But I would also say it would probably be longer for them to actually produce the paint schemes than it would be for a custom painter. Chris Edited 1 time(s).

Date: 05/29/15 21:11 Re: NS Locos Author: MitchGDRMCo Exactly how much of that Railpower tooling have they used recently for new models?...

Posted from Windows Phone OS 7 Date: 05/30/15 01:07 Re: NS Locos Author: MitchGDRMCo All in the RTR line and several years old, of the last couple year's releases of new models what have used the old tooling?
Would fully expect that if Athearn were to do the SD80/90 locomotives they'd do all new tooling and they'd be part of the Genesis line. Date: 05/30/15 06:53 Re: NS Locos Author: nathan314 fbe Wrote:

Other than the GP40X, Athearn has done recent runs of the other three. Nathan Beauheim Cheyenne, WY Date: 06/14/15 21:34 Re: NS Locos Author: video7105 Been there, done that, got one already
