Yeah, I was bummed about the fonts on the broad stripe scheme.  I found one on eBay sold with a seperate decoder included below my price break point so I bit.  It's always been my favorite G scheme.

I least I got them to correct the artwork in time for the red version.  And the silver Congressional units are going to look especially nice.  I'll have to go out of my era for one of those.

I suppose, great news for people who like the new pretty thing I guess, and I know the depressingly high percentage of model railroad sales that those folks drive.

For the rest of us, forgone multiple sales today. I'd say it's a someday project, but I'm holding off because I figure they'll probably do the CR ones down the road, so why buy now?

There is definitely demand, I have painted 4 of those things so far. People were willing to pay half the price of the loco again for a custom paint job, they will buy them RTR for sure...

Tony, that looks fantastic!  I love it!
