Here's what's currently underway in 1:36:
EMD GP9 series: The GP9 has been introduced in 1:36, starting
with CN GP9 and GP9RM units. The planned inital focus is on as-built
and rebuilt GP7 and GP9 units of CN, CP and affiliated railroads.
Late-model GE locomotives: Plans are in place to introduce recent
GE locomotives, including new ES-series orders that weren't drawn in 1:55.
Painted locomotives: Work is underway to expand the still very
small selection of 1:36 painted locomotives.
- Currently Under Revision -
No drawings are currently being revised.
Revisions remain to be made to early 1:36 drawings (including most
GP38, GP40 and Dash-2 versions) to fuel tank size, traction motor cables,
rear hood door spacing, radiator intake length and air reservoir tilt.
These changes have all been incorporated into drawings made after mid-April
2008.
- 1:55 Drawing Revisions -
Many 1:55 drawings were revised in the long-term drawing update that started on April 07, 2005. This only applies to the 1:55 series; 1:36 drawings are picking up at the level of detail where the 1:55 series left off.
Drawings that have a cyan background
were revised from 2005 to the end of 2006. They are above their original
detail level but not up to the latest standards for the 1:55 series.
Drawings that have a sky blue background
are up to 2007 detail standards, which means that as much detail as possible
has been included.
How to identify new drawings: Drawings that are up to 2007 detail standards are listed with black text for phase and roadnumber info, with only the model name as linked text.
