I'll rejoice when an M1b shows up on my doorstep.

Wow...

I still have that M1b on order with you, Jerry.  But I'm not exactly making room in the yard for it yet.

After all that forced long as a giraffe hesitation while my E-7 ABBA groaned unidentifiable grunts , I decided not to order any more sound equipped locos from them .

Heh.  Just in time for you to pull up the last of your N scale track.  Ain't that just always the way it goes?

I can't believe there are any dealers left to ship them too.

  Just in time to see if the dealer I ordered them from still remembers that order,or for me to decided to cancel my order and protect my not so fat wallet during a downturn. Nate Goodman (Nato).

Factory Direct Trains - and the pricing is decent as well:

http://factorydirecttrains.com/broadwaylimitedimportsnscale.aspx

Slightly cheaper than the DCC/sound Athearn FP45.

BTW, not only are the second run of E7 units shipping, they also produced both the first and second run of E8/9 units.

Yippie!  I'm off the hook!  They did the wrong scheme on the C&O E8s.  The paint scheme that PCM chose was only applied to the first batch of E units for a very short period of time before being repainted into what became considered the passenger scheme.



This scheme would be more appropriate:

That lower headlight is such a wart. LOL  I was really hoping they would address that on the E7's.  Oh well, Another $200 saved.  With the current state of manufacturing quality, I'm going to have one healthy retirement fund.  :-X
