They look great. Enjoy!
I agree with you 100%.Have a friend who just bought it and it is now on my too buy list
Glad you are enjoying them. They are great sets. I like how they run and look. Due to the prototypical coupling system you get a lot of cars in a shorter space which I think really adds to the look running down the rails.
They are definitely nice. Bought two TTX sets. Came very close to getting the BNSF set which would have gotten me kicked off the Isle of Denial.
Very nice, thanks for the pics! You have convinced me I need a set of these.
Very nice. Enjoy.
Beautiful cars, MTH does a very nice job with their Premier Line rolling stock.
How does MTH stand up to the Atlas version of these sets? Looking for owners who have looked into the detail of these sets. I think Atlas is more money and do not come with containers whereas MTh has a lower price and come with containers. Am I correct? Is Atlas really worth spending the extra money? Do any of you have comparison Pics? Thanks in advance.

And your punishment for even considering that is to purchase both a BN green and the BN yellow Gunderson sets!

They compare well to the Atlas models. The Atlas models ride at the correct height (a bit lower) and may clip ground throws. The Atlas models are a bit better detailed. I've considered getting another set, but they're hard to find and in a club context, they're a bit hard to deal with because you have to assemble them and you risk snapping the plastic draw bars (had to fix one already and have been thinking of making metal ones).

Will probably do that because I was unceremoniously invited to leave the Isle of Denial for succumbing to my SD70ACe addiction. I still have the boot impression on the seat of my uniform trousers from the Deputy Information Minister.
I bought #9374 last year off eBay, then ordered this one from the 2020v1 catalog, which arrived yesterday. We're currently shut down, but since I was doing a security check on the building (and, no I didn't power up the layout and give it a spin) I decided to photograph it.
