  After Purchasing the PWC Virginian FM set - I came across a new in Box set of 2355's on grahamstrains.com. I think I could sell the FM on Ebay to cover most of the cost of the F3's. Which would you pick as a primary runner for under the tree?

I always felt that the Black & Yellow Virginian was underated as were all the postwar FM's.

I have the WP F-3s, but since I only live a few miles from the old Virginian tracks, I gotta vote for the Virginian Trainmaster.

I would keep the Virginian and save up for 2355's on another rainy day. The 2355's are nice but not nice enough to sacrafice a Virginian for.
