As stated in all the ads I've seen, the MTH A-B-A set description makes no mention of which roadname, although Southern Pacific is shown in photos. I was just curious as to whether or not the winner could pick the roadname of their choice.

Like I'm going to win them, right?

Besides, if I do win, I'd love that 2026 set.

Don't worry, your chance of winning is as good as new subscribers, in fact, a tad better. Sometimes the "new subscriber" name gets waylayed during processing. My job, before retirement, included designing/running many sweepstakes. Joe

The 2026 Passenger Set is really a Keeper. Whoever bought it for the sweepstakes deserves a big raise in their paycheck![8D][:)]

The Atlas O bridge pictured is the one that will be awarded, and it is a single-track bridge.

I have a question, too: Are the Atlas Truss bridges single track? The pics seem to suggest so, but I'm curious.

Thanks!

Classic Toy Trains Sweepstakes Question
Posted by Jumijo on Thursday, September 29, 2005 12:46 PM
All the prizes are desirable, at least to me, but I have a question about the first prize, an MTH F3 A-B-A set. Is the set pictured THE one or can the prize winner pick out the roadname of their choice?

Just asking.
