Just released last week, MTH number 20-20256-1, pictured alongside the previously released Anniversary Genesis unit:

(photo link for guests and those not logged in) (a similar link has been added to the Genesis post) (Note: I have yet to install the snow plows on either unit)

Unlike the Genesis diesel, this one makes no mystery as to what train it "belongs" to, its station-stop sound effects being a 'tour guide' describing the exhibit train's itinerary (I imagine it's the one taken on the actual 40th anniversary)

I plan to keep these two together--by itself the F40PH showed a tendency to lose traction on some curves, and besides, the real 406 doesn't move on its own (right?)

Now the only thing left is the rest of the exhibit train. MTH has the tooling for an Amfleet food-service car and the Heritage baggage/sleeper, but has yet to announce or hint at anything
