ok, I get it. thanks for the info. If you ever do another N scale thingie, i'll deffinetly check it out. Ive been looking to get four or five N scale IM SD40T-2s in the Rio Grande paint. But I dont want to pay 90 dollars each. Thats the price Im seeing at all these net stores. and the local hobby shops are about ten bucks more.

I checked for you. This is a tough engine to come by. It looks like I can get the Rio Grand that you want but cant do better on the price. Another hot engine thats too hot for a cheap sell. Sorry! :(

Hey, thanks for trying. I might just have to paint custom paint some. I do hate stripping locomotives of their factory paint though. I have talked to Intermountain about buying unpainted shells, but they wont sell them unless they are a replacement for a broken one. Everyone should do what Atlas does and sell locomotive parts separately.

Like COMBAT said,he'll never be able to get his hands on many those AC6000CW's.The first run is sold out and hard to find, the second run is on reserves so they'd be tough to get.I have seen a couple on E-Bay,but it's not too often you see them.

I love my UP AC6000!I haven't had a chance to run it yet,but it sure looks nice.I can't believe I only paid $150 for it.If I put it and my T55 NP ES44DC on E-Bay I'd probably make some money:D.

Chris
Yeah, I'd still love to get one though, lol!

How about some Athearn RTR AC4400's?

I just got my Athearn RTR CP AC4400CW the other day,here's a picture...

The detail that they include on these look pretty darn good,the rest Details West can take care of,such as the cables,wipers,working ditch lights and such.

One thing you will have to do is add weight,they are very light!The end rail on one side came loose from the engine,but overall pretty nice models.I think mines going on E-bay along with some freight so I can get a T55 model when they come out.

Sorry COMBAT, Josh IS 100% correct;). there are only 3 UP engines that i DON'T have(that i want), and two of them i already have on pre-order(BLI AC6000 & Tower55 SD70MACe);).

HOWEVER...if you can get a GOOD DEAL on a P2k UP GP7, THEN...i would be interested;). :D -Deano

COMBAT:wave:, thats the right engine:thumb:. i seen them at the Rockford show last weekend for $160.00, but i got a GREAT deal on MRC diesel switcher sound decoders and have 2 left, so i was looking for them WITHOUT sound. sorry to seem difficult:eek:ops:, but i practically stole the sound decoders, and the sound is really a GREAT MATCH for that model of engine:thumb:. COMBAT, can you pull one without sound out of your hat? :D -Deano

I already HAVE my AC6000 so there!sign1

J/K,I wish I had as many as you though.

COMBAT:Nice little engine and the price isn't too bad,just keep on trying and you'll have a hit like the Kato SD70 deal:thumb:.
