Picked up these coaches NIB for $5 a whack at a train show few years ago, and the F unit
with MU2 motor off eBay for a Sawbuck. Not a big B&O guy, but the set was so nice, had
to save it from oblivion. I understand there are matching chrome B&O F's out there, as
well.

Looks like your cars are in great shape! I only have the coach and observation, and they're a little rough. There are matching F-units!

Da Cheez, you da man! Beautiful F's. Part of the beauty of Tyco is one doesn't need
a fifteen coach consist to make it look great. The compactness of Tyco just makes
your set look terrific.

| There's a certain vibe to the 1960s Tyco. Things can look unrealistic, but still look right if that makes sense. Like a real-world caricature.

Frank, that is an amazing set. Your ability to find these antiques in such
mint condition is astonishing. I always look forward to your astonishing
posts. If you could possibly post a little video of these beauties rolling,
we'd really love that.

| That is a good looking set, and not a paint scheme seen very often!

Ironically, my first locomotive was an Erie FA. But mine was in the freight colours of black and yellow. To this day I am partial to that paint scheme. These are pretty sharp. How well do they run?
