Gentlemen,
I have asked before, and I will ask again, what is your source??? While I would not be surprised if the suits in Omaha were to pull the plug on the 3985 (or the rest of the program with its version of PSR in play) there is nothing I have seen in any CREDIBLE publication that has reported this. Instead, the ones that continually bring this up are on forums here and on flame orders.
Now, for verifiable information, at the 2018 Rocky Mountain Railroad Club show in Denver, Ed Dickens very specifically said that parts were being sourced for all 3 locomotives. [
www.youtube.com] Look between 43:20-44:20 for the quote.
Now, just as I have given a source, I challenge every single troll on here that keeps preaching doom and gloom about the 3985 to produce a verifiable source, whether it be an article in a CREDIBLE publication, or a video such as I have done. Other posts on here, or on Flame Orders, or posts such as, "Ed told my mother's brother's uncle's son in (Whatever city or place) that if I have my way it will never run again."(You know what kind of posts I'm talking about)
In short, put up or shut up
