I have just seen it - since I love electrics of all kinds - it sure looked sharp. Didn't see it run. I've heard good things about the Rectifier.

To all,

I can not say much about the set, but I do have all three hoppers which I bought as part of a set breakup.  The cars are very nicely done, and are some of the nicest versions of the two-bay hoppers I have.  I used to collect them when Lionel discontinued all the other O-27 cars, but when they started offering some of them only in sets, I quit.  It was too expensive to buy the sets to get one car.

Keep on training,

Chief Dan,

 Do they have any more they want to get rid of???  Sounds like a good deal to me!

Dan, that's a great deal.  I sold one the boss had in inventory for quite a while (at home) for $400 yesterday.  The customer was one of the preferred ones so the boss sold it out of his special stock.
