March 2008 i cant wait! Athearn is releasing the Genisis SD60M and a new run of SD40-2’s and one of those roads on the 40-2’s is BN’s 1876! Also new freight cars will be coming from athearn including 6 Pack Stock Cars, Modern 40’ Boxcars, and a new run of coal porters! I dont know about everyone else but i cant wait for March!!
To make March a great month, file your annual IRS report in January so that you’ll have your refund check in hand in March.[(-D]
OTOH, not a single item named above would ever appear in the Upper Kiso Valley - if for no better reason than a 14.5 inch discrepancy in mainline track gauge.[:-^]

I dont know about March. Im just about maxed out on waiting for my pending orders to arrive. It will probably be until march or later before all existing orders are recieved and paid and the choo choo stuff taken to the house.
Dont misunderstand me, March is going to be a great month. At last all of this year’s pre-orders will or should have arrived by then.
I should get all 4 NW SD-45’s by then as well. I made sure to pre order them b4 there gone.
March may be a good month for you but this year hasn’t been bad for me. For Southern Railway modelers, we now have HH Sd40-2’s and we are going to have HHsd45’s. For me I just got another engine for me to paint for my modern day fleet, a SD60M!!

Who is making the 45? I missed that one.
Athearn is going to release the SD45 in the RTR line.
According to Walthers, most of the “new” IVb Superliners are coming out in March too. Sleepers a month earlier.
I’ve heard some really good things about the sample lounge shown at the recent iHobbyExpo 07. I’m eagerly awaiting someone posting a picture of it. Someone out there had to have taken a photo.
I sure hope that Athearn releases the SD45 in Wisconcin Central paint! I heard that a CN ran a few through my area a while back but I never got to see them and I guess now I never will. At least now I can have one of them on my own railroad, and with a scale width hood to boot! Now if they would only redo their GP7/9 and U-boats with scale width hoods![:D]
