That's great!!! Where did you buy it from, I want to reserve 2 or 3 sets.
Pre-ordered my R-142A 4 car set from Jason's yesterday.
Pellham6express.. dont leave Jason's trains hanging (like MCD4X4).. otherwise they will ban you from buying from them..
Pellham6express.. my contact told me I may be able to get my R142 sets a little earlier than the public...ill sell you one if it comes in early... good price..
ok man.. just making sure.. you cant bail out on Jason's Trains.. they will blakcball you from buying man...
offer is still there.. should get mine any day now.. should be the first..
im not going to bail out on them, why would i do that, i already ordered it anyways.
To all of you, hope you know that MTH issued the R 142s before, see their 2007 vol. 2 catalog. I got mine back then, 2 of the 5 car sets as that's the way they are set up to operate. Didn't any of you get them the first time?
I got one of those sets Ed but lost it to super storm sandy!
With the rerelease at least i can get one and not pay a grand.
I'm not happy about it being a four car set.
I'll be getting the 17 in maroon - 4 car and 2 car add-on. Already have the 142s. May pick up the silver and blue 17 down the road if there are any improved paint details (rubber door gaskets, window frames etc) ...but I have so many original 17s in silver and blue. Will probably pick up the cars on flats as well...at least of the 17s.
This is the first I have ever heard of a LHS blackballing someone from buying...
oh yea Big Haus.. gotta pay or they blackabll you... just like back in the day @ Madison Hardware, ya never asked how much.. ya just paid.. plain and simple..
..... Pellham6 had a little issue earlier in the year (agreed to buy) then didnt show..but I think he's learned from the ordeal..
alright, alright...I'm just busting ya balls man..so tell us.. how many subway cars are you runnin now Big Haus
I'm running lionel r-30,w/ add ons,r27 w/ add ons, r16 w/ add ons the M7 with multiple add ons and a hodge podge of MTH cars
Cool! Do you have the R142A, and are you getting any new subway sets from the catalog?
Going with the R-17 Maroon/Red. Oh yeah!
The wife wants the R142a set. Which is ok by me!
no he didn't, once someone pulls that crap their out for ever. I can see the guys point. who needs the grief for a few bucks. Truth be told, there's always the next guy. If you comit to someone, just do it.
Ok, now can we stick to the topic here
I agree PJB, mth did make a set with opening doors it was the premier sets, the R1 and R32 subway set, but you had to open them manually, not remote controlled
The R-1 premier sets never had opening doors.
????????????????????????????
