Offered in the Silver Series® line, these narrow gauge sets run on HO track (per prototype!) and are accurate passenger train reproductions in 114" scale. This is the first time 114" scale models are available at such an affordableprice. Collectively, each set's locomotive, combine, coach and observation car have eamed four NMRA Confonnance Warrants (Warrants 98-69, 98-70, 98-7 1 and 98-72, respectively). The locomotive features a completely hidden drive train, see­ through clearance under the boiler, a precision 5 pole skew-wOlUld can motor (with hardened carbon brushes), numerous metal detail parts (including the headlight mount), a finescale pilot, and sprung center axle for superior tracking performance and electrical pickup. In addition, the short-coupled tender features a hand-tooled coal load, and the Jackson & Sharp narrow gauge passenger cars all feature removable roofs and full, painted interiors with lighting. The early buzz on these sets has started us planning for the future of On30.

Ausführliche Infos, wie immer, auf unseren News-Seiten im Internet der jeweiligen Hersteller unter www.aat-net.de/shownews.htm (Alle Preis- oder Lieferterminangaben sind unverbindlich und können ohne Ankündigung geändert werden) (All given price or release infos are subject to be changed without prior notice) ATHEARN H0 Meine Freunde bei Athearn / Horizon konnten doch tatsächlich zu den ganzen im Web bereits verfügbaren Neuheiten mit einigen Sneek Previews aufwarten. So fand sich am Stand von Athearn bereits ein rollfähiges Handmuster der 4-8-4 FEF Union Pacific ! Das Modell wird das nächste Highlight nach dem Challenger in 2006 und dem Big Boy in 2007. Auch konnte ich schon Handmuster der EMD F45 und der EMD FP45 ablichten ! Diese Modelle, mit Messingteilen und allen möglichen angesetzten Details werden wohl erst im Winter erscheinen – aber dafür umso besser aussehen ! Des Weiteren stand bereits ein Muster eines Southern Pacific Daylight Passenger Cars zur Verfügung – dafür gab es allerdings noch keine Artikelnummern oder Liefertermine. Gleiches gilt für die bereits als Handmuster ausgestellten Modelle der EMD SD60M in den Versionen der Union Pacific oder der Burlington Northern, die sich in einigen Details unterscheiden. Auch wird es (irgendwann) einen neuen Run der SD70M / SD70I geben – auch hierfür standen bereits Handmuster bereit.
