Hi all,
with the final days of pre-order winding down, I am curious OTHER than the Big Boy what folks ordered. It might be nice to know what the runner-up engine was.
I ordered a PRR M1A Mountain, although not new tooling, a NYC Mohawk, with a ditto and a UP ES44 (another ditto) for engines. Then the 5 pack PS-1 map boxcars, the Vision Sound Pacific Fruit Express cars, and a few other pieces of rolling stock and a N5B caboose for the Mountain. If extra expenses are low this year, I'll look for a 765 Berkshire on the secondary market.
Really wanted the Big Boy, but I do have the Lionmaster Big Boy, and none of the rooms available for my layout have a dimension longer than 13 feet, making O-72 not practical. Even O-54 is going to be a squeeze unless I build a layout in the garage.
