Tom, thanks for the tip on the book, I'll keep on eye out for it. I mostly have been collecting D&RGW diesels at the moment. Picked up a few F units from different manufacturers to see what I like the best...I really like the Genesis units, but unless you can find a really good deal, they are a little pricey. Besides, the 4 stripe units are REALLY hard to find! The steamers I've got are all AT&SF models. I know what you mean about having to get the brass ones. I watch ebay like a hawk, but nothing is ever in my price range... I've emailed BLI a couple times with my wish list for D&RGW steam as well as some CB&Q steam, that if it ever comes out in plastic will definatly find a home at my house. I think I'd be happy running 4-8-4's and the big 4-8-2's. I'd really like to see a D&SL 2-8-2 in plastic...you know the ones with the feedwater heater on the smokebox front? With all the talk about the Athearn Genesis Challenger's price drop, I really thought about getting one, but I'd really rather have a 1700 class northern, so I'll just wait! It's nice to talk to another Rio Grande fan! Thanks for the help!
