Any news about the Bowser M420?

Bob

What happened to their C415's? They were due after the red barns?

According to whom? I see no reference on Bowser's website to a C415 even having been announced, and the Red Barns are out on the street now.

They had a PDF of an/the announcement of the C415 in the store about a year ago.

A Bowser rep at the 2016 Springfield train show told me the C415's would be out after the CP red barns. Maybe they've changed plans? I was told they would offer 2 of the 3 C415 versions.

I asked bowser about them about a month ago. They told me they are still planning on doing them. They are still a little while off. Not sure how long though. They were not clear.

Which "them"?  The C415 or the M420?

Are they still doing the RS-3?

Yes they are still doing the RS-3. Lee had samples of body parts at the PRR convention this last May. Just about every style of phase 2 RS-3 one could want. -------Ken

When a model railroad manufacturer announces their "intent" to produce a model this translates to "its in our future plans, so be prepared to wait". Bowser has stated at least two years ago of their intent to produce the M420, and so far nothing has been announced. I'd like to see a Canadian GP38-2 and/or a GP9u produced in HO scale, but I get the feeling we may see at the very least the 38-2 produced by another manufacturer who already has tooling and drawings.

I'm still waiting for the C415 for both SP and BN. I hope it gets slotted in for production soon.
