No comments on the Z SP SD40-2????   That's an SD40E (rebuilt) number.

Foobie of the Year?

I am and I know.  But I'm not the Decider and we got a lot of folks asking for this scheme on this engine and if sales say anything, those folks came through. 

Going outside to play now. ;D

Joe - thanks for the rerun on the UP 60' boxcar!

The Canadian Pacific Express logo on the trailer looks elongated to me - now that could be the picture, or it could be they scaled it to a 45' trailer which, I think I am correct, would never have happened because that loco was used in the 50's and early 60's and the vast majority of the express trailers CPR had were either 40' or pups.....regardless, it just looks wrong in the picture. I'll have to see it "in person".

Cudo's for the effort however !

Exactly what I was thinking. The CP Script was dropped in 1968 for all subsidiaries and replaced by the multimark, and I think that 45' vans did not become common until sometime after 1968. MTL really should have used a 40' van for this model.

I like the MEC car too, but is there anyway we could get it w/o the load and maybe save $10 ??? :-\ I mean 26 dollar box cars in this economy ?? > >


I like the CP flat and trailer too, but sold seperate and big$$$$, I will have to pass.  :'(
