Wow, that's kind of depressing.

The CPRail runner pack looks rather enticing. I'm pretty sure they have already done a runner pack at least once before, but at least you get some more seperate roadnumbers. (Something more for Mark Dance to fill up his yard tracks with  8) ).

It sounded like a good idea at the time... too bad the caboose wasn't in on the plan.

That NYC Passenger set looks enticing. Very nice!

If I had the money, I'd go for the NYC set.
Also kind of like the Halloween set, but when ever I look at the hopper car of bones all I can think of is;
"What would Hyperdyne Industries reporting marks be?"

I'd be on that too if not for BLMA's much more accurate PRR 52' gon.  However, MTL has chosen the SK2a scheme, an unusual and neat choice.  The Shadow Keystone 2a scheme was in use from 1957 to 1960.  Misses my era by a year, but truth be told I have a few cars not only in SK2a, but even the 1961 Plain Keystone scheme.  I may sit this one out, though.

I can't remember the last time I purchased a new release from Micro-Trains. No offense to M-T but they just haven't made anything I need. I'm sure that will change at some point as their new tooling looks very nice.

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

Ok Dave, tell me what you need? :D  Nows a good time to give me some ideas, I'm sure I can come up with something to drain your wallet.

The Graffiti SOO line boxes look neat. I might need to get some.
