I purchased these over a year ago and just assembled them today - 6-18-11. These are from McKean Models. I installed Proto metal wheels and Kadee #5 couplers on all of them. They are all different road numbers. Built these today as it is very hot and humid outside - around 95 degrees actual temp - add humidity and heat - over 100 - going to pool later to cool off

| Nice set. The Seaboard System scheme was too short-lived, especially considering its vast improvement upon the Family Lines stylings. Unfortunately the only SBD paint I still see are weathered surviving tan and black hoppers; I haven't seen a red/yellow/black car in decades.
