The herald used is a bit late for my chosen era... but overall a very nice effort on the part of AM! May need to buy one just to support them... besides... it's Katy... one of my KC roads when I was a kid!

There he had one on display along with a MKT GP9/18. I got the S-12. Now if you go to American Models website you will not see it listed.Youcan get it with scale wheels, but the scale coupler will be a problem. Great show find but I could have pre-ordered it after My earlier Fort Worth train show. Yea I had 2 train shows The past one in Nov., had this one and in 2weeks we have the Plano show. How lucky can you get. >> Alan Lambert >> Fort Worth, Texas >> >> >> >>------------------------------------ >> >>Yahoo!
