UP "Big Blow" Turbine HO scale... anybody

[Anonymous]

@All:

Hi there, let me introduce myself by saying that i'm from the Netherlands and I enjoy Americal modelrailroading for several years now. Most of my rolling stock is Athearn with an occasional Bowser unit in between. Most of them are diesels, I own a Rivaossi Big Boy and we have a Challenger on the tracks.The layout is in HO scale and covers 25% of the attick. I enjoy the hobby for about 20 years now. My father infected me several years ago and he enjoys it sinds I can remember... My job is an air traffic controller in the Netherlands and I am 38 years old. Now you know who you're dealing with, haha!

My question is the following: Does anybody knows where to purchage a UP turbine model HO scale like a 50's series or a veranda? I only saw the machines of overland sofar, is there any other brand involved in the turbine scene? Please let me know! Thanks for your effort, best regards, GERT

Lionel is bringing out a Veranda turbine next month, advanced reservations are taken at www.walthers.com at $499,99
you could buy a www.resintrains.com bodyshell and kitba***he chassis, but that is about it.
The Overland "Big Blow" set is sold out at Overland, rsp was $1695,= now available on some brass selling sites in europe for round and about the doubled price, that's what I call a good investment.

ps leuk een andere nederlander tegen te komen
