Hi,

 I keep hearing LGB will have stock in their dealers soon.

Have you any idea when that will actually happen.

I can't find a reasonably priced roll of orange/white #50130 actually in stock anywhere?

Thanks,

That's a nice looking Furka OberalpBahn rack loco you got pictured there.

There get real $ for that model.

I think some of the earlier ones may have had motor issues and later ones had a beefyier motor.

Maybe some day.

NHLGBdude it is one heavy brick of a 2 axle loco ! It trundles along with great dignity and the lights are a treat...3 in direction of travel, one lower right in trailing end, and cab illumination. Looks just great. I am waiting for rack sections to enable me to tackle the dreaded spiral climb. That'll tax its capabilities ! Action photos are promised....... and will be delivered.
