I got an email receipt now also, from PS, shows shipping address as my current address. :) Can't wait till it ships and I get it.
 Thanks,
 Joe D

 Just got shipping e-mail now. Coming to correct address.  Now what to paint it up for? Hmmm.

Got my undec today. Ist impression was it was light, compared to LL units. But I know weight had to be sacrificed for DCC and sound. Parts bag has lot's of parts, some of which seem to be extras, as some parts are installed out of the box. Only document that came with loco is a parts diagram of whole loco with #'s on diagram keyed to mostly just #'s on parts list. No description of part. This is going to be a real eye killer. One critique I have is that primer coat seems on the heavy side. Might strip it. I assume shell is of the spread and lift type?

Got my Via unit a couple of days ago and although vit doesn't fit my plans it's awesome. I hope that future plans at Rapido include an N FA2 for our American neighbors

Actually I'm hoping for an FA1, as that's the only kind NH had.

Yeh, FA-1's. I'd like NH, and LIRR. 'Tho LIRR FA's were for HEP only.

I'd like FA-1's too.  UP had a shirt-load of 'em

Cheerio!

I assume PRR and NYC had them, too. I think there's a whole lot of modelers who'd want DCC FA-1s, and happily dump their LL ones on eBay.

Both the PRR and the NYC had them and I would certainly like to see some PRR FA's (either 1's or 2's).
