Thanks for all of the input. As I mentioned early on, my interest was originally peaked by the prospect of a nice engine of a design I like at a good price. The price issue is now moot as Walthers as well as Trainworld as well as my source all are offering the same deal. Obviously, this is a complete closeout on this model (in my opinion), maybe for one of the reasons Peter pointed out, it's not a correct representation of the MILW "Chippewa". The engine style, while a "Pacific", is not the style used on the CNW as pointed out by Nigel, and while the Rivarossi version has nice detail, it didn't really conjur up visions of yesteryears, as some others have. Finally, I am not a repair buff. My bifocals and less than delicate finger dexterity, leave a lot to be desired when doing minute repairs on a piece such as this. If Walthers is closing it out and discontinuing it after it sells off its inventory, they will not be likely to want to service these as Chuck pointed out. Thanks again for all of the input. I'll keep my "eyes" out for another one of these Pacific critters. George
