Model Railroading > BNSF 250 th scheme in HO ?

Has any model train manufacturer announced a BNSF 250th diesel in HO for pre -order ? Thanks. 

Please see/review (you're very own authored) TO.com thread from three weeks ago... (barely still on page 1...)

So far the only real announcement I have seen for BNSF 250th scheme is from Broadway Ltd. and it will be all new tooling in 
die cast metal. About $450.00 with DCC and Sound and about $350.00 analog.

I'm sure in the very near future, there be a flood of manufactures announcing all the anniversary locomotive. Hold on the your seats folks, the circus is about to begin.

Scale Trains just sent out a big email with announcements for a bunch of the 250 Anniversary units including BNSF

They are also doing sets of Christmas ornaments.

And so, the circus has arrived..........

Yep, ST is doing a ton of 250 engines, including the three BNSF ones, individual or boxed sets. 

They also have 3 all brand new locomotives: 
- HO SD70iAC, which is to say SD70ACe locomotives can be produced in the future.
- N scale of the same thing
- N scale GE rebuilds for CSX, CM44AC. Thus they should do all of the N scale rebuild GE's eventually. 

Oh ya, and Christmas ornaments.
