Very nice car. Just be aware that it can be easy to pass the point of no return in looking for all the paint schemes of these cars! What's interesting is that the vintage releases of these cars generally have more detailed graphics than the modern issues!

LOL, yeah it is going to be tough finding some of the older schemes, and while I don't follow a lot of modern HO stuff, I do believe you - the graphics on a lot of old "vintage" HO train cars are way better.

| I do not mind saying, $42.49. Just had to have it, the only other one available the dealer wanted over 50 bucks plus shipping for. They do not come around that often.

Walt, I'm afraid if Microbuss got ebay, his house would be totally filled with model trains floor to ceiling. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but...
