I've been keeping an eye on em in the press, but have yet to see one in person. I was hoping they would be in Springfield but were not. I am looking at getting several for my Agway dealer for grain and animal food hauling.

Haven't seen them myself, but just about everyone on the A-board who's mentioned getting one (or more) has had great things to say.

Got an undec kit at the National Train show last summer. Its a very nice kit. Proto to high 9's. And I havent seen any assembly issues to date.

Its about 40% done...but has been sitting for 2 months as other items get my attention.

Ian,
They were at Springfield! They were in the small hall. I don't remember the name. My friend Ed (Not Kapuscinski) was working their table with Thorobred Models. They're sweet cars, but they are $$$
