FVM Milwaukee Cabooses Shipped.

Received a box with two versions of the caboose, the bunk car and coach today. All very nice models. If these nice models keep up, it could turn me into a closet Millwaukee road modeler.

I like the trucks.  Might have to bug Matt for some of those.

It was a locker for tools, rerailing frogs and coupler knuckles. It was a good idea given the state of affairs for the Milwaukee track!

As for the trucks, I think that FVM is also doing a drop frame truck as well.

Best wishes, Dave

I can't wait to get mine in.  I ordered the caboose, a couple of express cars and a bunk coach.

The next run of 4-4-2 is so very tempting..........To early for what I model but so very tempting!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those look sweet!   :drool:

I think I hear the sound coming from the price of a OMI brass model falling off a cliff.....

Matt raising the bar once again!

Well done!

Wow, Dave, that's what I paid for my OMI's originally.  Watched them go way higher over the intervening years.

I checked Walthers (my LHS's supplier) and only one of the four numbers that I ordered is in stock so far.  I wonder when the rest will come in.

I'm still really looking forward to my one, though.
