Well, I just ordered a set. These will fit in nicely with my central-Illinois-oriented focus.

Thanks for notifying us... For better, or for worse, I couldn't resist buying a set. I must say, though, I'm not really sure the white billboard logo looks quite right rippling across the side ribs. I feel I prefer the Hiawatha and yellow banded paint schemes. Can't wait to get them  8) .

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