From the Atlas FB page:
I for one would love to see a rerun of these locos. They are really great-looking models and run awesome! It was great of Atlas to bring these to the market for us in the first place. An update with ditch lights and DCC would be really nice. And if Atlas got a little more ambitious it would be awesome to have an AC version on the market as well.
The last run of these locos was in August 2000, and as well as these locomotives have held up, they are becoming more and more hard to find. If you would also like to see another run of the AEM-7 I would encourage you to tell Atlas via email. Here is the page with the link at the bottom http://www.atlasrr.com/communicate.htm . You are seeing what happens when people speak up about the Amfleets; maybe we can persuade Atlas to do the same thing with the AEM-7/ALP-44!
Any chance of some AEM-7's now that Walthers is retooling the Amfleet line?With the news of retooled Amfleets this would be a great time for a re-run of AEM-7's/ALP-44's, and it sounds like Atlas is not close minded.
Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc. Thanks for the suggestion. We have been considering another run of these locos.
