Goodie; goodie;goodie..................awesome project and the 4-4-2 would likely be a great model from which to bash a CPR 4-4-4- Jubillee......

Very good news !
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

This was a great decision on Matt's part.  Whether modelers buy it or not, a lot more people will hear about FVM this way.  I like the new logo too.  Matt emailed me a screen shot of the new website.  It's really nice, a big improvement over the current one.  He expects it to go live by year end.

Shouldn't this be more correctly termed the "Twin Cities Hiawatha"?  This set never ran west of Miineapolis right?

Looks like another CGW passenger car is in the mix.  What are my chances at an undecorated coach. LOL

You'll need the $1.2 million laser for that, just add it to your cart!

Are you kidding?  Walther's is breathing a sigh of relief that someone else will fool with that in N scale.  After all, no one will buy it anyway... will they?    Will They?...

(The next sound you hear will be someone at Walthers getting fired)

No use to me, but a steam engine is a wise move. Matt and FVM are helping to elevate N scale and expand our horizons (without drugs).

Bluford and BLMA, too.

Interestingly enough, FVM is also doing this in HO, prominently in WKW's face!

Very nice. 

Does this mean Kato will announce a me-too Hiawatha next month?   :D

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
