I think they are made for modeling.
Something besides the same old boring paint jobs.

No, that doesn't make you weird. We all have different tastes, and are each entitled to our own opinions. Even if yours is wrong. LOL.[:D]

I'm in the same boat as you Loathar.

I voted yes, but only if they came in N scale.

I would like to see the Toyota one, not the USPS unit. At least the Toyota version was on the Southwest Chief. I don't think the USPS version ever was on the Chief.

Nope. I wouldn't take those in HO unless you paid me. Then I'd sell them and get some money to buy one in the Phase IV or Acela paint scheme.[:-,] I think the AMD-103s look GREAT in the Phase IV and Acela paint!![:D][:D][:D]

The Toyota one is just a rolling billboard for the Tundra.


I hate Toyotas anyway. I'm a Dodge-type guy.
