I need to post more often! Anyways, I have an eclectic mix.

If any of you heard of Atlas's new announcement, you can be sure that I went into full Freak-Out Mode. If someone told me Atlas would make these models, I wouldn't have believed them.

Pictured are the pre-production samples of Atlas's ALP45DP "Dual Power" locomotive and Comet Multilevel commuter cab car. The only thing that sucks is that I had a few of the Multi-level kits, but those kits are NOTHING compared to the atlas cars.

They even visited on our electric modular club! These were taken last June 4-









Also exciting, IHP is coming out with RTR Silverliner Vs. These aren't Resin kits (like my other EMUs from them). These are built injection molded and made in China. They'll still probably break the bank, but it is nice to see some good Commuter models out there. They will probably start out as SEPTA painted models, though Denver recently bought Silverliner Vs for their airport line as well. These are preproduction shells. There will be Single Cars and Married Pairs.










For our Canadian friends... One of the last flyable De Havilland Mosquitoes, Apparently a former Canadian aircraft.





This a view few people ever get these days! Normally, its a $1500 ticket. Because of low clouds, a $5 tour! From the cockpit of FiFi, the last flyable B29 (though not for long, another B29, doc, Should be flying soon if it hasn't already)
