Besides the Challenger,

Is there any new motive power coming in the next couple of months? I saw the updates on the AZL site but, it did state that new schemes for the SD70 and GP7's later this year.

The Fallen Flags Set; Is the CNW and the MKT cars yellow and green respectively? Or are they similar to the MP grey scheme?

AZL does have new locomotives planned, but we should see these later this year. Likely, the next new powered locomotive will be the RDCs. You can check out the latest information on the upcoming new locomotives at:

Correct, the Fallen Flag UP cars all are the same light grey with the UP shield. The road number contains the 'fallen flag' road designation. Check out the stainless steel walkways! This is a nice touch.

Looks like the reflective stripes got put on the wrong car.
