Figures they would come out after they are all retired...

One wonders if the SD9043MACs are next....

The prices are getting stupid.  ×   

I still have my KATO version sitting around someplace. To get the athearn version. That is out off my budget range for one.

Street price of silent version prob about $200. Bet they will be nice.

I am happy to see another manufactuer stepping up and offering these. All the Kato runs sold out and they have not run them again, most likely because they are too focused on N scale.....

My guess is, SD9043MAC's will be next, in a few paint schemes, and maybe the Phase 1 SD90MAC's. Figure a couple of months from now to be announced, which puts them on the street in Spring of 2021. Then, the SD70ACU's in CP, NS variations, which could be a summer announcement with a 12 month lead time. 

Prices are crazy, but a great time to be modeling with the amount of details available on the market.
