Looking for NS locomotives

[darkstars78]

I need help finding a Norfolk Southern locomotive in HO scale.... I really like the GP40's and GP38-2's and really like the Dash-9's.

The problem is I can only find them from Bachmann online and I am looking for Athearn or Atlas....can someone please help me find a place to buy one online?

Hmm, that is very odd... I just checked out SPTrains.com and I see what you mean by not being able to find any NS locomotives made by either of those two companies... If you dare you could always try *dun dun dun* eBay :eyes:
