My favorite:


My only complaint is they need to upgrade the molds to the solid sill/walkway with separate handrails like they do on some of the newer stuff. Either way, looking forward to grabbing all three!

I absolutely need to get this baby, but will have to renumber it to be the 1732.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

No skirting options on this. Our one artist blacked out part of the sill and I missed it on the artwork. Looks good in the photo, but looks pretty ridiculous in person. It'll look much better if you take a #11 and a file to it instead...  :scared:

What? No Southern? No Norfolk & Western? No Illinois Central?


Hmm... no termites and
bananas...?


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Sorry to go OT but this photo reminded me of the time in 1980s when one summer weekend I roamed around the Somerville yard (before Homeland Security days). Among others, I took a photo of GP9 #1808 and I modeled it using the only GP7/9 available at the time (Arnold).  I dug up the photos and here is my bluebird.  This was before the days where we demand absolute 100% accuracy in our models.  :D



And of course, living in the area, one never forgets that...



Sorry for the diversion. Now back to the originally scheduled thread.  ;)

I am surprised they did not jack up the MSRP another 50 bucks.

Eric,
Why renumber it? They are releasing that number already.   :)
