The NMRA did have a "Living Legends" series and another series honoring the 
great model railroaders of the past.  I bought most of them, G&D, AL&P, PURR, 
Delta Lines, etc. Two had rather silly (Bikini & Hollywood and Firewater & 
Kicking Horse) freelance roadnames and graphics, so I passed on those two.

Otherwise, the only one I was disappointed with was the V&O reefer.  Whoever 
heard of a black reefer with light gray trucks?
