Redbird

I have seen it mentioned here or I just missed it. The model to get if your repainting them would be the Blue Bird #502 which is the only version of the early GP9s, The Red Birds and # 508 Blue Bird are Phase III with the 48” fans.

While a number of us were blind sided by the Athearn announcement and delivery of the redbirds, I hope the quick sell out of the redbirds will show Athearn that there is a N&W market out there.  Over the years a number of attempts have been made to interest Athearn in producing N&W early diesels and we finally have a very good model of the passenger GP9s. Now we need models of the black and gold lettered freight GP9s.  Harold Davenport

Got totally blindsided by this topic. Athearn apparently announced it in February, but nothing here (or in TAF) until the 30th of June. Nothing in MR. Was lucky enough to order the last red one at Train World, a 521 I'll renumber.

Have enjoyed the discussion of the RS11 project, but in the midst I received my Athearn Genesis N&W Redbird #514. Simply beautiful. Have waited a long time for this model.
