Last I read was that Boeing was going to farm out the operation of them to a comercial operator? Anyone know who's in the frame? My first guess was one of Atlas, Southern, Evergreen, Kalitta et al.
Will they be available on the open market?

Nothing like the AN124 whatsoever only that the upper deck is pressurised. The Boeing LCF is a SWINGTAIL product, the An124 is nose and tail loading but is Antonov isnt Swingtail.
B747LCF has 4x engines and is planned to be on the basis of a converted B744F. I understand Evergreen Aircraft Technoligies (Taiwan) are involved in this, i.e. the EVA group not EIA in the USA. Flight International reported this one or two weeks ago.

Tha An124 has 4 engines like the 747 maybe you thought about the An225 which has 6 engines but you should learn better about airplanes as all antonov's have high wings and boeings are low wings except for C17 (ex douglas) that is high wings.

Hmmm............
I hope the fuse pins they use in the hinges are stronger than the fuse pins they use to hold on the engines:E
