Atlas releasing BN Bicentinneal U30C!!!

Yes i just checked out atlas website and they are releasing BN’s bicentinneal 1776 U30C in HO scale which is awsome its limited run so if you want it you better get it before its gone!!!

I can’t wait for the Soo one. The BN one also looks pretty cool.[8D]

Ah…ok…whoopeee…yay…whoopeedoo![zzz][banghead]

You could have one tomorrow if you wanted. Just custom paint one.

Thanks SD60M…

Just ordered mine. Its a reserve order not due till October. But it will be for Christmas. Always wanted one in the Bicentennial Paint. Saw all 3 all the time in the 70’s on there way to Houston. It was always a treat. Even more so when they had all 3 together.

Im a big BN fan and this will make a nice addition to my BN fleet.

Thanks again for the heads up…Anyone else ordering one?

Since I am of the custom paint sort, I can just get the Microscale Decals and custom paint when I am ready to get one if I can’t find one.

But I wouldn’t mind having the full BN Bicentenial Trio though. Just what do I do for an SDP40 since Not only is Athearn’s Scale overside in its long hood, its also Out of Production.

Yes im deffenitly going to order one im not the custom painting type so this is the perfect. Its probably the only chance to get the U30C bicentinneal unit since atlas is the only one who makes it and the unit is limited so we need to get them while we can!!

FYI- Just got an e-mail from Docs Caboose and for those of you interested in getting the BN 1776 advance order its on sale. Must order before mid June cut off.

Hey Master,

I have always disregarded the wide hood thing on the Athearns. It actually makes it easier to repower. As far as out of production… maybe a train show with a guy selling old stuff or if you’re into the ebay thing… (I’m not) OR, I have been advised to wait, because someone I know says that Athearn will probably re-release SDP 40s. I find it hard to believe too, but if they do it; it’ll probably have the right size hood.

And anyway, another U-boat; sure why not!

I pre-ordered mine on Monday. I guees it was a good thing that I haven’t gotten around to custom paint the undec U30C I bought a few years back specifically to do the Bicentential unit. I did the SDP40 #1976 years ago using the Athearn model. I’ve started (and then stopped) working on a Kato SD40-2 for #1876. Installing Cannon details parts and I’m waiting for the diesel Tsunami to come out before finishing the paint job. I have always wanted to do all three units, now I just need someone to come out with a scale hood SDP40.
