Re: (erielack) New Atlas GP 38's (off topic). New revolutionary feature?

["Inlinebob_@_aol.com"]

I have it on good sources that the GP-38 will have a special animation 
feature linked to lineside signals. The breakthrough is only good for modern 
modelers interested in current day activities. 

When a GP-38 is leading and the train approaches a red signal it will 
automatically stop.

If it is the NS version, modelers will hear the sound of the engine crew 
zipping up the days "work."

For the CSX versions, the engine crew figures will "cockup" with a coffee and 
a magazine while waiting to outlaw. 

For the UP version, the animated crew will outlaw and leave the locomotive, 
which will not move for three days.

On the special Conrail version, the signal will turn green and the animated 
crew will wave as they move on doewn the line.
