NightCrawler–thanks for the info and thanks to Atlas!!! I’ll take 4–but do I really have to wait until Fall 2005?

Whaaaa… no HO? oh well, I might just buy one.
BTW kudos to atlas for making such an unusual engine[tup]

Looks like an SW 1500 to me. I hate all those switchers, they all look alike.
On second glance I see there are three variations there. One looks like an SW1500, while the other two look like the MP15DC’s

Nice looking switchers, in a futuristic sort of way. Maybe 60 years after the Muddy Creek Era…

Alas, we’re still anxiously awaiting some more contemporary N Scale ten wheelers

Probably the easiest way to tell the difference between an SW1500 and MP15 is the trucks. Also, notice how all have a flat top between the cab and the sloped top (or where the slope would be if not for the air filter). The main spotting feature of the MP15AC is that it has radiators that look similar to those on the SD40T-2,. SD45T-2, and GP15.

SWEET! One of those does look like an SW1500 to me. Believe it or not I requested an SW1500, SW1001, and MP15DC in N scale at the Atlas booth at the WGH show a month ago.

Very nice. The one on the left is a standard MP15DC while the middle one has a larger air filter in front of the cab and the right one has an exhaust silencer. The last two also have roof top mounted horns and protruding sand boxes.

I think I’m going to kitba***wo of these into “close enough” SW1500’s. Also, even though CR got rid of their’s in 1989 (out of my main modeling era), I’ll get a CR unit.
