I stopped by the LHS at lunch today. They had an HO Scale model kit for a Road Runner that is essentially what I was looking for. It was expensive by my standards and they only had one "Transition" car and one regular car. I will need another car or two to make it look right. The kits were produced by a company called Durango, or something like that. The LHS guy ordered another one for me but has no idea when it may come in. <br /> <br />Does anyone know what the difference between a Road Runner and a Fuel Foiler is? I just plan to build the Road Runner kit, paint it white, slap a USPS decal on it and let 'er rip. Incidently, the tires on the trailer are white metal castings that will help add weight to the thing, but I believe I will have to add weight inside the trailer. These jokers should probably be weighted to NMRA standards like anything else on the track. Maybe I'll see if I can find a cheap FRED for this thing. <br /> <br />Later - Ed
