I had a hunch after the success of the ACS-64, this was going to get announced, but I didn't think it was going to be this soon.
From Bachmann's web page:
BACHMANN DEVELOPS THREE NEW TRAIN MODELS FOR SIEMENS MOBILITY
Following the success of the HO scale Siemens ACS-64 model train, Bachmann Industries is excited to announce three brand-new HO products: the Charger SC-44 passenger locomotive, the S70 light rail vehicle, and a single-level mainline passenger car.
Bachmann has committed to producing full-featured models similar to the ACS-64 with DCC sound and lighting functions using Siemens Mobility’s original design documentation, and sound files for all three projects. Siemens’ Charger diesel-electric locomotive boasts high-speed, high -efficiency and clean energy performance, and their sleekly modern S70 has been adopted by many light rail systems across the United States. Their inter-city passenger car uses the latest engineering to offer passengers an extremely comfortable ride while providing state-of-the-art conveniences. Bachmann’s Charger models will be the first out of the gate, with a 2020 delivery date.
“Combining Siemens’ acclaimed designs and Bachmann’s modeling expertise, all three products will be sure to thrill any hobbyists who model in the modern era,” said Rich Janyszek, Bachmann’s Senior Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. Spearheading the effort are Dave Ward, Chief Advisor for Siemens Mobility, and Larry Harrington, Vice-President of Product Development for Bachmann Trains.
