mdvle Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sadly Athearn's weekly live sessions don't do much in the way of N so don't get posted here very often, but they did mention today that people wanting new stuff from Athearn in N should let Athearn know (help@athearn.com) - they partially base decisions on feedback received from customers so the more interest shown in something the more likely they will consider making it.
