The NMRA convention in Milwaukee is finally here. Are there any new announcements to be made in the N scale line? If so, how soon?

(Need new steam!)
Thank you dtpowell for asking about the NMRA Convention. I'm hoping for a 'yes' to my similar question under the 'New N scale coupler pics' topic.

Dear All,
All announcements will be made later in the week.
Have fun!

K4? Maybe? Maybe? Please?

Big "thumbs up!" on the 70-tonner. Certainly a logical evolution of the work done on the 44-tonner.
I do need to seriously ask: what is the logic behind the GP7? This is a well-covered prototype in N.

The same logic that was behind the 70 ton switcher, "Well we made it in HO, so lets jsut go ahead and make it in N."
Please let us know when you have the details on the 4-6-0!!!!

Simple, not a limited run item. Not all those road names are currently available, either.

Sadly, not close enough! WHAT, more dang UP turbines? You got to be kidding! I'm sick and tried of these UP loco's that were primarily used in the Wyoming area. What about the rest of the country? Whoops! I'm embarrassed. :o The UP Loco's are ConCors. The 70T is OK and I'm glad to see the GP7. The 4-6-0 road names are missing some popular road names with the exception of NYC and it's good to havea choice with the undecorated models. I'll wait for the official announcement from Bachmann, but for now I'm disappointed with no K4 or M1 mountain.
Well maybe we will see a K4s next year.... or the year after.... or the next.... ::)
I'm beginning to believe it will be a while. Maybe Bachmann and the other manufactures are thinking the other one is working on it so one on will for fear of over product duplication.
