06.03.16- N.E. Prototype Modelers Meet - Atlas' Big HO Announcement

Описание: This is my first year attending the NE Prototype Modelers Meet and it was the first year that it was held in Enfield, CT. I had a pretty good time today hanging out looking at various different models and attending a handful of clinics being held. The show is Friday and Saturday June 4, 2016.
Onto Atlas - There was a post that Atlas would be making a Big Announcement of a new product at the show on Friday. I was planning to attend the show without knowing that but I found out about it a few days prior. Their Big announcement was (As many people had guessed) and Engine! It was the ALP-45DP NJT engine and the passenger cars to go with it. Now I was just lucky to have walked into the room just after they put the engine onto the table! So I decided I needed to get a video of this and release it late Friday night as well, for everyone to be able to see it in 3D.
I have NEVER been a big fan of Passenger engines and rollingstock so the announcement was not really BIG for me. And what made it even SMALLER for me was the fact that it is an Eastern RR operating ONLY in New Jersey. So unless you model in New Jersey you will have no need for this engine and cars. The prototype engine and cars are only found on three Railroads as of this video, They are brand new on the MARC in Maryland and also on Agence Metropolitaine De Transport (AMT) in Montreal Canada but you will not see those roads until 2017 or later.
