Hopefully sometime this Summer one of these will arrive here north of Toronto....
When it does I'll put it in the LotW.

I'm gonna say, um, unlikely...
btw for grins cause these guys you can go have a beer with and talk trains. Try doing that with Mt Atlas or Mr. Bachmann!?
Anyway here's a Vid you guys will laugh at even if you are not a Rivet counter. Jason really is but he has a sense of humour:
Scroll down till you find the Grills in Winter video...

I like that the video shows that the Winter Drills are Kosher for Passover if you watch the video and the trademark screenshot! Great sense of humour.
I agree about getting it right but alas the price reflects that.... they have an FP-4A coming out next year and TLT is bringing out the Very Canadian SW1200RS. At these prices I can allow myswld like two per year. Thats not a terrible thing really. It seems to me the more people have the more they want.
I expect to buy exactly two locomotives this year unless the new Bowser DS-4-4-1000 (CPR-Script) is out this year! I hope not. 
I've also decided I need to excercise my engines so, I'm joining a large nearby train club soon. To learn some stuff and to run my stuff!

Just recently rediscovered a love for the EMD "F's"!
They were THE symbol of Trains when I was a boy...
