Redbird

Tue Jul 3 21:02:42 EDT 2018

We were all taken by surprise to some degree. I never saw the Athearn announcement and the Society, if they mentioned it, wasn't very specific about it.
I ordered one on Friday from a feebay seller and the order got screwed up. Naturally feebay customer service said it was up to me contacting the seller and dropped it on me. The seller didn't respond until noon today so I lost out on the several sellers that were listing them. Kleins was sold out last Friday. Some folks said they had them but you need to read the # in stock at the bottom of each item with Friday said "0" in stock on all Tuscan Red units. 
Oh well, I guess if I can live with the real Redbirds being gone I can live with my models also being gone too!

 Got totally blindsided by this topic. Athearn apparently announced it in February, but nothing here (or in TAF) until the 30th of June. Nothing in MR. Was lucky enough to order the last red one at Train World, a 521 I'll renumber.

Have enjoyed the discussion of the RS11 project, but in the midst I received my Athearn Genesis N&W Redbird #514. Simply beautiful. Have waited a long time for this model.
