That there was a plan to do the SP Daylight in Spectrum, and possibly with sound. (and then, maybe in the AFT scheme) Which would save me a lot of time, effort, and pain in trying to convert the DCC On Board I have to a Sounded Loco.
Could you (or someone) confirm this, please?
They just released a new Standard GS4, in AFT , Daylight, and War Baby schemes, so I think it's unlikely for them to release a Spectrum model .
Dear Flash,
The Spectrum version is on hold- it was decided to upgrade the Standard Line model first.
Have fun!

By Upgrade, could you elaborate?
Hi
About rumors, did not Athearn once plan to come up with a Daylight train?

Better motor and gears, better contacts, detail improved, operating front coupler with nuckle couplers bow and stern.
Based on my two 0-6-0s, which were early enough NOT to get the front and knucle couplers, a wonderful advancement.

"Traction Tire Equipped for Maximum Traction"
Traction tires are a selling point??????
Not for many modellers.

Are they still the standard RTR, or is Athearn pouring more in?
I know they're selling a new Daylight RTR set with an F7 as its locomotive... I don't think Athearn will release a GS4 anytime soon...
