Well, someone should mention it! Yup, they’re gonna do it (According to “Model Railroad Hobbyist”).
Huzzah (a word sadly missed)!

Ahhhh, very nice! If it’s gonna be anything like their Veranda Turbine, it should be a great model. I have the Veranda and the details are great, paint is spot on, the handrails are not flimsy. And if you replace the lighting with LEDs like I did. And of course install sound decoder.
Just looked at your “link”…there it is, big as life!!! Strange that they didn’t have it on their monthly news updates, but who am I to argue?
Should be a “dandy” though, now you’ll be able to buy the Bachmann versions for $25 apiece after this one comes out, but then who will want the Bachmann version with one like this will be. It’s ashame Bachmann didn’t get theirs updated much earlier but they are probably thinking the same thing.
If they can keep the price down to what the single tubines are it should be a sell out.

I see it’s in the Genesis line. My guess is the DC version will be $200 to $225, and the sound version will be $100 on top of the DC. I wonder if this means they’ll also make a DD35 A and B? I wonder if they’ll be free of the truck sideframe problems that the SD70 series has had?
