Hey Guys:

OK with Nelson's help I got the shell off my "Spectrun" Pacific K4. It's the first Version which was really a "tarted up" Plus model.

Nelson and I have been bouncing around the idea about sending it in for replacement. That will cost $25 plus shipping to Bachman, so say a shade over $30.

Now I have no use for a K4 in my collection. This one was given to me as a present when I still was interested in modelling the Pennsy. That no longer being the case I have two options.

1) find a buyer for the new Pacific K4 which is a much nicer full on Spectrum unit. I wanted to see if anyone on the list was interested? I would ship it directly to them unopened, or more likely have it shipped directly from Bachmann to whoever is interested in buying it. I haven't established a price as of yet but it looks like on ebay they are around $120. So if you're interested make me an offer. It won't be anywhere near the going rate thats for sure

2) Scrap it for parts... keep several of the mechanical pieces, and sell the superstructure/pilot etc to a forum member. Would consider making the tender a part of that.

3) Just realized since I was thinking of doing this to my Bowser Pacific. I could grind off the Belpaire and Canadianize this....

Anyone if you're interested, let me know...
