Just got the Lionel HO challenger

[Anonymous]

First I am a up fan, second I love challengers and 3rd the price of 260 bucks for a fully detailed engine, intreged me to get one.
I do have a large collection of HO brass, GN on display and this engine will fit right in.
This is the most detailed die cast engine I have ever seen. The only thing I can find on it that is cast on is the boiler bands. Now, why can;t the 3 rail die cast engines come this detailed and even at the list price of 699.00 that would be a steal by 3 rail standards.
Just thought some of you would be interested in case you like the engine but can not afford it in 3 rail.
