All I can say is G-I-G-A-N-T-I-C and W-O-W!!

I received my long-awaited Brute Showroom Cars a few minutes ago via UPS. I unpacked the add-on "New Haven" car from its outer carton and dealer double-boxing (total weight: 18 pounds!) shortly afterwards.

Sitting on my 72" outer SG loop, it DWARFS everything in the room.

Paint finish is excellent and overall construction is the same. I am very pleased and it was worth the wait. UPS did an excellent job in delivering both packages.

The downside is I will have to wait a few weeks before I can couple these up to my Brute. My 84" curves and Brute-clearance layout is at my other home.

I need to figure out how to download photos and also video from my 1080P Droid camcorder into my XPS laptop, and then I will post my "mugshot" and also the Brute consist!

THANKS ALL for your kind comments.

Most of my medical support system is here in Nashville, TN at my dialysis clinic and at St. Thomas Hospital. Due to some additional MD appointments, it will probably be April before I can actually run this awesome set.

I will now have to live long enough to get the armored loco set!

Don't forget to check the shocks on your car before transporting those heavy cars!
