QUOTE: Originally posted by FEClionel If you had the choice between a choice 2354 or newer style Santa Fe frieght colored F3 or Rio Grande Postwar Celebration Series F3 - which would you pick. I thinned out my collection and now I want just a few diesels. What would you do. I have a mix of postwar rolling stock and accesories and I love the feel but I'm scared to run them on the tile floor under the tree. The Blue and Yellow Santa Fe's I think are cool and the Rio Grande is a great remake. TMCC and Railsounds are not on the top of my list. What to do.................
QUOTE: Originally posted by FEClionel Which would you pick to run - 2353's with 4 2500 series passenger cars or 2367 with same cars both engines were cataloged with these passenger cars. I really like the 2367 but they just lack the detail of the 2353's. This setup will be the center of my Holiday setup for years to come - I purchased both on Ebay for $325 - now which do you think is a better deal?
QUOTE: Originally posted by FEClionel Need help in deciding which one I will keep - gotta sell the others. #1 2367 - ex- or vg+ - some battery damage needs headlight & # board otherwise nice low mileage runners #2 2367 - vg??? Has crack on rear near rivet, vg paint but noticable paint rub on nose has box and needs one horn #3 2363 - vg+++ or ex - only prob is nose decal is weak but battery damage or other issues #4 2353 - EX has small amount of batt damage to inner frame otherwise very nice and clean I chose these to run around the tree - Almost purchased a Williams set but decided on the originals instead! I will run one of these with 4 car 2500 series aluminum passenger set. I really appriciate your advise!
QUOTE: Originally posted by FEClionel Ok now have the opportunity to purchase a halo set for my small carpet layout/collection. If all were same price which is a better pic? I partical to the FEC set but the fact it needs a minimum of O-54 which is a but large for my house. Both F3 sets are nice! they fit my space better and they classics. I really favor the KCS but I also love the fact I can find all the passenger car add ons and B-unit unlike the KCS. Honestly its between the KCS and the FEC. What would you do in my shoes - this will be my largest train purchase thus far!
QUOTE: Originally posted by FEClionel What about the new Virginian FM diesel set?? Which one?
