I now know where I'm headed on the 1st! Was hoping they'd make an appearance in this part of the world.

Possibly the F40PH announcement. Amtrak Phase II, Phase III and for the Chicago fan, RTA & METRA.
Although I'm pulling for a SDP40F!!

Nice poster! Haha. I was baffled at first because Atlas just re-released an AEM-7 model and that should satisfy the market--but then I saw the bottom left. I always get a good laugh out of the Rapido posters, you guys have a good sense of humor. Thanks!

Isn’t it obvious it’s the F40PH? Wasn’t a test shot seen in the background of one of Rapido’s photos online a while ago?
There would be a whole bunch of happy campers if it was the SDP40F, but I doubt it.

Cool, I can come bug you in person for E units now. I'll drive. I refuse to give in! After spending 6 months accumulating the parts to Highlinerize BLI units, I don't care if they release E8's. But Pooches could be fun... |

Were we talking about anybody but Rapido, I'd point out that it has been at least an entire year since anyone announced tooling up a new GG1...

If so, many Amtrak modeler budgets will take a hard hit! 
Please spill the beans if it is more than just rumor.
Thanks, Mark

I'd buy a C415 just because it's wierd. I'd want one in a plain generic scheme, like yellow with black frame or something, though.
