As I posted elsewhere, I, myself, am very excited about the Atlas purchase and the Atlas licensing of DCS. I am hoping to see many more Premier-level (or whatever Atlas calls them; maybe GOLD) engines in new paint. I am hoping for the P42 in the new schemes or the ES44’s in new Canadian National heritage paint. I am looking forward to March 24 for the first announcement.
As far as DCS, I am thinking that the group holding on to the DCS tech has a few secrets. With Atlas rumored to be making a big DCS push (I believe according the a Mr. Muffins message), it seems that DCS has a future. And I could see that whomever holds onto the Railking and Steam lines using DCS also. I can’t wait to see where the DCS group takes the system.
The next few weeks will be very interesting and exciting.
