@@codyrapp7253 Same man, I havent been super active in the hobby for a long time, but I've been watching Scaletrains absolutely crush it - I am thrilled to know when I finally do get back into it full-time/ish there will be some really high quality stuff out there to enjoy

[@ditchpatcher]

I love these mini documentaries about the locomotives because of the uniqueness of different models and railroads.

[@WJP1361]

I remember seeing my first C6M (NS 4044) which would of been the 45th rebuilt unit at the time, now NS rosters an army of 835 of'em.

[@AlikStansberry]

Wow, I was wondering when if AC44C6M models would come out in the River Counter Line. I’m a big fan of these things, especially the Sonicbonnets & DC to AC Waveform units. I encountered 4005 leading an intermodal once back in September 2023.

[@modeltrain9500]

I'll definitely be getting at least one of these. Gotta support the company so y'all make some classic NS Dash 9's with the black face, or the operation lifesaver paint schemes again too.

[@Scaletrains]

We appreciate the support! More NS units will come in future runs. -Logan

[@CentralVirginiaRailProductions]

However, I will say some of the things y’all are talking about would be cool.

[@GreenOverRed]

On one hand, I really hope the next announcement is for an N scale locomotive. But on the other hand, my wallet is tired. It needs a break, lol.

[@Scaletrains]

There's a little something on deck for N scale announcements today as well! -Logan

[@JacobRailShortline]

Hopefully 4444 in the future

[@BritishRail60062]

That's fantastic news. I am going to be getting some of these 😊.

[@Scaletrains]

We appreciate your business! -Logan

[@seaboard544]

nice models, hoping to get one someday

[@Kevin-lo7se]

That is a really nice new addition to the Scale Trains lineup. I have the BN SD40-2B and it is amazing. I would love to see some Santa Fe SD40-2B's and SD45-2B's done. I grew up on the Santa Fe mainline in northern AZ and saw B units frequently. Thanks

[@Scaletrains]

We're glad you're enjoying the BN B unit! There's always the potential for some familiar faces to appear in future runs. -Logan

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

This is fantastic news. Seen 4002 back on June 2 on a mixer 345 or 355 heading to my neck of the woods down to New Orleans to be handed over to UP. Had a replaced panel on the conductor side. You guys got to do Trinity's early 5850 no end cut outs and 6421 Plastic pellet covered hoppers and colored banded and value cover tank cars especially the UTLX black banded Sodium Hydroxide panda bear 16,000 gallon tankers.

[@herbertw.jr.carrier6122]

This decision is amazing!!! The platform is almost as endless as the Dash 9's. Every railroad now has a rebuilt in their roster. Can't wait to see them in person! Thanks Scale Trains 🚆 👍💰!!!

[@joshuadixon1272]

I work for NS in altoona PA and just a FYI the AC to DC with the wave logo on the side were built from the Juniata shops in Altoona, Pa. Thats how you can tell if they were built from the Altoona shops or wabtech with out the ac logo on the side. And please tell me you guys will do these in N scale.

[@Scaletrains]

HO will be first up, but there's always the chance for N scale to join in soon. -Logan

[@ThunderRiffs87]

Is there gonna be another run of Rivet Counter Dash 9s or ES44ACs (horsehead paint)???

[@Scaletrains]

There will be more NS equipment in future production runs. -Logan

[@codyrapp7253]

Will you guys do n scale rivet counter GE ES44s?

[@RadeonYoutube]

I would love if they did this and I'd definitely buy a few for sure

[@Scaletrains]

With the Fox Valley ES44 tooling being retired, we will have a Rivet Counter trim ES44 in N scale later down the road. -Logan

[@srinathnarayanan7343]

Good informative video. To be very frank, I have never heard about this company ScaleTrains (though am familiar with Kato, Athearn, Atlas, Trix, Roco,Brawa etc).

[@tonyansill3093]

Can you eventually offer #4000 with the release (as I call it) paint scheme. The front logo was gold like the number and the side Horsehead logo and long hood rear logo was blue.

[@Scaletrains]

It's something we can certainly look at, but it would likely come in a later release. -Logan

[@waynemiller7382]

How about making the Dash C40 -8 ? Lots of Class 1s had them including NS, UP, CN, and Conrail, CNW etc.. CN still operates some that they purchased from UP. Many many variation posibilites as well as smaller railraods that own / owned these, short lines. I strongly suspect you already have many of the patrs already tooled that can be used from the Dash 8, C39 etc. (frame, trucks, grilles, fuel tank variations etc). To note Atlas HO model of this is 20 years or so old and is NOT a detailed model at all. I'm sure there's a market for the C40 -8 and many subsequent production runs.

[@Scaletrains]

It's certainly something we can consider looking into for a future product idea. -Logan

[@AmtrakTBL]

Why not make CSX CM44AHs also

[@Scaletrains]

These are the first stage in GE rebuilds, CSX and other fun options will come in time. -Logan

[@blbell23]

Are you guys going to do these in N as well?

[@Scaletrains]

N scale is something we're heavily considering looking into, depending on how it goes for the HO release first. -Logan

[@justinsrailvideo8195]

Is the nscale version in the work?

[@Scaletrains]

@justinsrailvideo8195 HO will be up first, N scale will likely make an appearance a little further down the road. -Logan
