Based on the roadnames this HAS to be the same standard guage 1/29 connie Aristo has been promising for over 2 years now, Ridge Road Station had image mock ups on its website and it was discussed on MLS a while ago, the proto is supposedly a B&M standard gauge 2-8-0 road engine.

I was warned the price hikes were coming a couple months ago by my LHS. So track at Trainworld is now $5.33 a foot, when I started I was averaging $3.60 to $4 per foot. Glad I got all my track before it hit the fan. Its the rolling stock prices that got me, a bit of a jump there as well.
