Great list, a few things I didn't even know existed. I'd probably add the Rapido PA's and E8 on the list somewhere. Some of the nicest models I've ever seen... There are a lot of truly amazing models these days. Happy new year!
Personally, I bought 4 SD70ACu's and preordered 3 from the next run, so it is safe to say that this is my model of the year!!!! Keep up the good work your model reviews are great!!!
I resisted getting an ACu, because they don't have rotating bearing caps. I decided to wait for a future release. Athearn needs to step up to the mark and make this a standard feature to keep up with competitors. I have 6 Genesis SD70ACEs and if Athearn produce an aftermarket truck with the rotating caps in the future, I'll be tempted to get two or 3 sets.
that is some really great stuff, I got a couple of them. The only one ( 5 ) you missed was from miniprints, he released some figures that are well know you tube personalities ( minimes )
I got 7 of the Spring Mills depot DODX cars, nice models, BUT the width of the wheel treads.... is like huge.. I'll measure them one day, but they are definitely not fine scale ! I also got 4 tangent IC type cabooses .

@@waynemiller7382 the next run of acu's will include that feature!!!!
Thank you for pronouncing nuclear correctly.
I bought the two CN Tangent Cabooses which are excellent models.
Great models you chose. I really liked the nuk fuel cars. I did not know they made those.
Aurora Miniatures SD60F is likely to be a top 10 for 2023.

What is the era of the DODX flat cars? They are very cool!
I believe the first of these were delivered in 1981, and most of them are still in service today
I don't agree. I think there are a lot other ones. That should have been mentioned
You HO guys get all the good s&?$.
