Shameless plug.  PRR brass, RF&P 4-8-4... How about a Western Maryland Potomac?

Oops, yeah, didn't see that little tidbit.  I've spent that much on PRR brass before, but I'm not sure I'm willing to again for a while.  My GHQ/Kato conversion runs just fine even if she's not as detailed as this.

Now, the E6 on the other hand...  Hmm...

This is turning out to be a very expensive year for SPF's.  Good thing most of these releases are later this year or next year to give me time to sell some stuff and save up.  The E6 and G5 are surprises.  I guess I should get on the reservation list for the L1.  Aside from GHB, who else is taking reservations?

Looks like Victor may finally get his Atlantic! :D

Nice but I'm wondering why anyone hasn't complained about there being no K4.

I'm not holding my breath, but if / when it materializes there may be a big diesel sale on my RR.

The GHQ-Kato conversion is still a $200 plus labor option. Conversion 1 & 2 went OK #3 is still on the  work bench years later.

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Looks absolutist beautiful.  Frortunately, the projected price means I will not have to make a decision regarding whether or not to purchase one.  Sigh!
