[@LoneRanger5150]

Holding out for the GP60s.

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

RTR GP60s were just announced

[@LoneRanger5150]

@CentralJerseyRailfan I'm talking the Genesis models.

[@dwhonan]

For those of us modeling the mid-1990s and later, has provision been made for adding ditch lights to these units? Also, FYI, the announcement PDF refers to the "SD50 series" at the top of the features list on page 6.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

Well, like the 50 series, the SD60s were dogs-just in different ways. NS was the only railroad that finally figured out that in order to get an SD60 to run right, you had to burn it down right to the frame and start all over again with a new enclosure and distribution.

Love those BN units gonna have to get one of each!

[@trainglen22]

Is there a reason that the Canadian Pacific and Oak way leasing weren't included?

[@jantheman9999]

Yes- there was only capacity to offer 6 road names initially. More will be offered in subsequent runs.

[@petesawatzky4014]

Hi Jim are you going to do some Oakway lease units with ditchlights? Thanksgiving for announcements of the the SD60 into the Genesis Line. Pete

[@randallellison6421]

You just had to tempt me with those BN units, lol!

[@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb]

Speaking of do you guys have sd60 trucks ?

[@canadianlocomotivelogistics]

Sweet more NS!

[@phaloxx]

But no oakway. Unreal.

[@jantheman9999]

It will happen. Don't worry.

[@cnw8717]

CN SD60s but no Oakway SD60s? Also doing the ONLY 3 BN SD60s over the Oakway first.... okay.

[@ShawnCalay]

Get out the airbrush

[@jantheman9999]

Saving some roads for future releases.

[@SIGINT007]

Calm down, foamers
