Athearn or MTH? Iove the Ace's. I have 2 MTH. I'm gonna get a couple of the Athearns also. You'll be just fine with 22" curves. Just don't go any less.

I hate waiting also, I buy most of my stuff from my LHS.

Post a photo here when you get it.

I'm happy for you.

It's always a pleasure to get your heart's delight when it arrives.

I, too, would recommend you not go anything less than 22" curves.

Hope it fills your days with lots of good use!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
