But, that PRR fantasy scheme is pretty sharp.


Nice touch, Stuckarmchairing.[V]

Cool buy! ebay can get adictive.

Not sure what curves the model will handle, but I believe the prototypes were refered to as 5000 hp track straighteners.

Cheers,
George

Nice looking engine! Good price for it.

Darrell, staying quiet...for now
Or that CSX never had any turbines like what was in his signature for a while.

[}:)][}:)][}:)] Well, Now you went and did it.... You'll never have a penny to your name again.. A word of advice that I'm sure others have offered... Beware of bidding wars.. Don't get suckered into one.

Enjoy the win.

Cool, Freak! Awesome loco!

BTW...the seller is in my old stomping grounds...Granite City, IL. I used to go there every Tuesday night during the summer to the short track motorcycle races at Tri-City Speedway there.

Sorry...didn't mean to reminisce here.

You know, it is not good to repress your feelings. If you are excited you should let it out. You can bottle it up or it will get out where you least expect it.
