Will these locos have a solid front and rear hand rail?
Will they have a twin horn on the short hood and a single horn on the long hood.

Thanks

Colin

Colin,

The SOO GP-9 will have the appropriate handrails and horn for the road number chosen.

Would Atlas like to correct the road numbers for the newly listed SOO Geeps?
The SOO LINE (WC) 2410-2413 are the correct numbers for the Phase 2 GP-9's such as the Atlas model. These units had a small 'WC' to the lower left the number on the cab.

The SOO LINE 411-414 are the correct numbers for the Phase 2 GP-9's. The SOO LINE and WC did not have Phase 2 passenger GP-9's.

Mr Kimble,
Are these models painted in brown or Maroon? The picture is not very clear as posted on the Atlas site.

John,

That's the problem with illustrations, versus a photo of a decorated model... the SOO Geep will be the correct color before it's released for sale, thanks.
