So... Atlas Trainman, Athearn RTR, and the forthcoming Bachmann entries... is this the F-unit of the new millenium?
Of the three, which one wins the crown in the $75 market?

Doesn't it seem like??? And the Bachmann EZ-DCC, Atlas Trainman, and Athearn RTR examples are just the entry-level end... Aren't there Atlas Master and Proto 2000 GP-38s or GP-38-2's too?
What the world needs now is another GP-38-2! Perhaps Walthers' Trainline will toss its hat into the GP-38-2 ring or maybe a Model Power MetalTrains GP-38-2?!?
Amazing, huh? But that seems to be one of the laws of the model railroad biz...we never have one and then we get 3 or 4 or 5 of 'em!
