CR specific SD40-2.

SD70M in UP and NS flaired radiators and new cab. Like the N scale.

CSX SD70AC with flaired radiators.

Atheran C32-8.

Athearn C39-8.

Oh and a SD60M's

Wouldn't suprise me if Athearn did C32-8s and C39-8s, seeing as they now own the Railpower tooling for them. I would LOVE some Conrail specific SD40-2s.

I could be wrong, but I thoguht only RPP did the C32-8, not the C39-8. I know they look alot alike, but it'd be like when Bachmann sells their B23-7 painted for roadnames/numbers as a B30-7 (and calling it a B30-7)

yes.. but theres much more of a difference between the C32-8 and the C39-8 than there is the B23 and B30. those were essencially the same unit.. just different horsepower.

Kato is announcing something new in HO scale in March. I have a friend who works there and it not anything too exciting and if the price he said they are asking I doubt they will sell very much.
