Nice to see a properly done Rio Grande SD50. 🤤

Finally after years, we have not only a new announcement of the SD50, but an overall upgrade for them. I hope this opens the door the modernized variants in the future: SD50M, SD50-2 and SD40E.

Thank you Athearn for the Rio Grande caboose and SD-50 announcements From the RGM&HS.

Hallelujah! Mopac in UP livery...there's just something so cool about the scheme!

Spring Creek Model Trains is the bomb! So fortunate to be only 50 minutes away!

Nice livestream guys! Huge kudos to the team on all of the insane railroad specific detail variation research!! While these SD50’s are all sure to be absolutely stunning models, I will have to hold hope for the Lake State Railway versions.

Very excited about the SD-50 announcement! Hopefully we'll see a future NS SD-40E.

I keep wishing and hoping for a Genesis U33c/U36c. A lot of road names would make this very marketable.

New n scale locomotives

I hope to see the SD40-2 in the Genesis line.

Any chance you can do a release of the athearn genesis 2.0 sd40-2 for connecticut southern

We’ll it’s not that bad announcement but uh the SD50s and 60s are AWSOME too but one day hoping for AC6000CWs

All of the locomotives that you showed looked great but I miss when you could purchase a plain Jane undecorated model without any livery or letting and then paint it to what ever road you wanted. I have failed in love with some SD70ace-BB, Dash 9 40-BB and ES43ace-BB locomotives unfortunately I know that you only sell the American version of these locomotives and not an undecorated kit with interchangeable plug and play trucks where one could build up the locomotive swapping out the H0 co trucks for H0n3.5 (12mm) two sets of bo-bo articulated trucks which would cover cover most of various of the same locomotive used by railroads worldwide like those meter gauge in Brazil.

Are they going to have rear lighted number boards too? The Rio Grande light package. I read that some of the lights could be switch between steady and flashing. Will these do that too? The F units need upgraded to G2 standards. I'm also hoping for SD60M two window cab in G2 standards. I want to have one 3 window, and one 2 window cab in BN green and upgrade my BN #1991 to have lighted number boards too.

Very cool

I can’t believe they are skipping the seaboard system sd50 units if they are doing chessie, they go hand in hand for early csx. Are the conrail 50’s with flexicoil trucks on the drawing board as well???

No SP sd50's ?

Santa Fe Santa Fe Santa Fe Santa Fe Santa Fe

Athearn does some good work, but don’t forget about us N scalers - I’m still hoping to see the MP15AC one day. Thanks.

YAWN

Once again nothing for us Canadians.

More stuff I won’t purchase

WHY NOT COME UP WITH THE SD7ACE? AND THE BQ23-7 LOCOMOTIVES? IF YOU MAKE THEM, I'LL BUY THEM.

Of course you cant be bothered to mention if its N scale or HO scale.

Once again N-scale is forgotten about. Same old tired scenario.

@Athearn where is the steam???? Has it just disappeared are you guys not doing it anymore??? I'm very concerned about the lack of steam projects and you guys doing retooled SD50s......yawn and yet another caboose........DOUBLE YAWN 🥱🥱🥱🥱 I don't remember people asking for these or if they did that's a problem.
