Thank you for making the effort to embed the new video. Those GP40 samples look amazing as do the tanks and flats.

I'll wait for my Scaletrains GP40's thank you. At least those won't have a flashing beacon design pirated from someone.

Love the early CN, and the WP is pretty tempting.

Lots of discussions of GP40s, but still have not seen or read what is the difference between the 1966 GP40's and 1970 GP40's.
My understanding is that the Atlas GP40 represents the 1966 version and not the 1970 version.
So what version does the Rapido and Scaletrains represent ?

I think Tony means phase of the GP40, rather than years they are good for.
