Athearn GP9 Announcement

[NW Modeling List]

Yes sir I  understand but the picture of the models shown are watercolor artist picture and not the real model. The use I feel of the word yellow  is a generalization to a public  that don't  know the true color is gold. Now with that being said if the model comes  out looking  exactly like the picture then a problem they will have. I am  completely happy with the details and colors of my C&O gp9 and I am 95%sure that my N&W units will be  just as  good sorry for not  explaining myself better. Dean Taylor

Dean: I generally agree with you, however, when you wait a long time for models to be produced and when they are there are glaring mistakes. In this case the lettering and heralds are being presented in yellow - wrong. The lettering was Scotch-Lite gold on both the red and blue versions. We have some of the full sized appliques of the hamburger herald for the blue version and they are in gold not yellow.   Harold Davenport

Amen but there are  modelers out that get a bigger joy out of  saying that  something is wrong than they do out of saying that  something is  right. Will this model  be spot on no probability not will it be close more than likely  yes. I'm in this hobby  to have fun and enjoy  trying to get  as close to right as I feel I need to but not make a  second  job out of my pastime. Dean Taylor

Subject: Athearn GP9 Announcement  All;  Athearn has announced four roadnumbers of N&W GP9's. Two will be Pevler Blue and two in metallic Tuscan. All road numbers will be offere as both DCC ready or with DCC and Sound. Sound will be Soundtraxx's Tsunami 2 sound system.  Road numbers are 502 & 508 in blue and 514 & 521 in Tuscan. Details will be road number specific. Artwork appears that the scripted logo for the Tuscan units will be on a separate photoetched plate. Hood lettering on the Tuscan unit appears a bit off to me, but I am viewing it on a smart phone, hopefully Messers Brewer, Painter or Nichols can comment.  MSRP will is $189.98 non sound and $289.98 with sound. Street prices will vary. Tentatively scheduled to deliver in late January 2018.
