I am really interiested in the Triplex model, even though I live in Wisconsin. It was a unique and impressive locomotive that looked down-right pretty. The large box headlight, the marker lights, Russian Iron on the boiler, and 3 sets of cylinders; only something a mother could love, right?

I'll wait a little while before I buy mine, as I don't want to pay $499 for an engine just because it looks cool. I'll wait till I see them on clearence.

Someone on the forum mentioned GN steam. I am also going to get one of the PCM S2's, once they come out. PCM really hit the jackpot with me when they released a plastic version of "the brass sensation" as they call it.

you might find discount houses dropping the price a bit.
