Well the OL and I just took the plunge. After searching ourselves blind we found a merchant that supposedly still had -One- full set of the Athearn Genesis-Walthers Super Chief warbonnet engine. dummy and eight cars. 662.00 dollars later *winces hard* it should be on its way *crosses fingers*

Looks like we have now taken the big step! *laughs*

Wish us luck that it was really in stock and not just a chain yank.

here is a look at what we ordered, through a different company though.

Which merchant? Most I've dealt with are honest and reliable. You could flick them an email just to make sure.

Good luck!!

The OL and I found it through Flying Scotsman Hobbies at http://www.fshobby.com/

they seem like very reliable fellows, the concern in that it might be out of stock... seems its become a rare and hard to find piece (at least the engine)

[:O][wow] Talk about timely, friendly and courteous service! Just got an email back from Peter King at Flying Scotsman Hobbies. He was troubled to inform me that he didnt have enough -lighting sets- to fill my order and would it be agreeable to send me the Engine and cars and 3 lighting sets and the other lighting sets when they came in with no shipping and handling! LOL Considering that the only other place I found the engine for sale was in -Switzerland- and almost double the price we just paid, I am pleased as the cat that got the canary with that! (and the OL is over buyers remose heheh)

I would definately use these gentlemen again; quick and business-like.

Peace.
