I agree. Atlas is beginning to do that to. If you think it is tough finding those UP and BNSF six axle units, try obtaining those obscure commuter railroad engines like i do! Atlas was supposed to release a few road numbers of New Jersey Transit GP40-2s, and they were sold out on walthers months ago, and they are only supposed to be delivered around now! I get anxiety when i see a model coming out that i'd really like, because this is what typically happens to me, i wait, and then they are gone. half the models i never see in person.
I don't always have $150 to put down on these engines when they come out, and it will be a pain finding them later. It drives me up a wall! So far, a couple of the Conrail units I'm looking for are still on store shelves. I might try and pick one of those up, going for maybe the Sound Equipped GP40-2, since I'd use that one often. Atlas also has some Conrail C40-8Ws in the future, something I'd been looking forward to for a while (would go good with my SD60I and SD45-2).
gonna have to see how it goes.
