Nope. Not interested.

Looks OK to me but what do I know? What's wrong with it?

Nothing I can see, and I do love the L&NE and these 2 bay hoppers,
$25 now 22 hours to go too, and will jack up before closing.

Nothing at all; just not interested. I have far too many hopper cars and probably should just sell off 1/2.....maybe I should just sell off 1/2 of all my rolling stock.....or more........and start over in N scale.

I don't know how much if any 19th century equipment is out there in "N", but it would substantially increase your operating turf! I would have probably chosen "S" scale, but for the limited choices.

I couldn't do N. I can't see that small. Probably better to just dump it all and get out.

The older I get, the more appeal that option has. Still the thought of all that "turf" gain is enticing. You could also go "Z", but the urge to whack it with the flyswatter might become irresistible! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They could be buying MWM Bethgons at $600 a pop! Makes me nervous just thinking about that, although that price tag makes the decision easy, even if they can spin in circles while part of the train! :mrgreen:

I've got a bag of smoke I'll sell you for 10% of that price and you'll actually get something tangible, :wink: :wink:

Sadly.......and I was optimistic of seeing something delivered if only to show it could be done. And whatever happened to Lee Marsh and his FEF?

There was a pilot model done and pics were on the website. $5K price tag for models as best I recall. There was a NYC Niagara listed as the next project. All info has disappeared from the website.

I wish it was a UP FEF instead of the SP model. Seems were not seeing much of anything new from any of the importers except 3rd Rail.
