Sunset NYC T-3a will you get it?

I sure like them. The only 'I wish' would have been they have a air whistle like the S1 and S2 Lionel did instead of a horn.

I don't believe each paint scheme has different details I think each picture shows a different side side of the model.

I am not sure of that, that's why I prefer to wait for some other pictures... maybe Sir Mann can tell more about that point.

When it was offered in diecast I put in a preorder but now that it is brass and a couple of hundred dollars more i decided to pass. 

Btw both paint schemes will be exactly the same in detail. 

I didn't knew about the Die-cast/Brass point... In europe Brass models are considered as more valuable than Die Cast, isn't it the same in the USA ???

I have to admit I am totaly ignorant on that point.

In the photo at the top, you can see the steam heat boiler intake & exhaust TOWARD the camera, while the lower photo has those same details away from the camera. Thus the details are indeed the same, you are simply viewing different sides between the two photos.

Yes I can clearly figure that, I was talking about details such as the wires runing under the frame that you can see on the LIghting scheme version and not on the black one... and It's not a matter of side, look at the video on the 3rd rail web site, you can see the loc on both side

pidjy,

As everyone has said before you are simply viewing different sides between the two photos.

Go look at the video again, closely! You are seeing the same side of the loco in the video. The only thing that changes is that it is pulling the train in different directions.

The cabling, or "wires" as you call them, are ONLY on one side of the model. You are seeing DIFFERENT sides in both the photos above, and the video on Sunset/3rd Rail's website.

Have you checked out prototype photos yet?

Back to the original question - definitely!

My S and P have been waiting a long time for a T....in black.

Sent my payment today. I believe mine will be converted to a CUT engine.

Bill 

Did CUT have T-3's?? Are you thinking of the larger P class?

Got mine paid for and awaiting shipment!

Chuck,

  I don't know the difference between a T-3 or P class. My playground was Collinwood yard back in the day. I like overhead wire so that is why they will be assigned to the CUT. The CUT was long gone so I never seen the engines, but i would board the rapid and ride the route of the CUT from donwtown to Brookpark turn around and ride to Windimere and back to Downtown.
