Ditto. I paid somewhat high prices for about half of my 4558s, and really good prices on the other half of them, but if they release them again, I'll be buying more, and it won't bother me a bit that I paid what I did WHEN I did for the ones I own (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Jake, Hey, that looks great. A few comments... I think that there should only be one blower housing. You have two bulges just behind the cab, one on each side. I think that there should only be a bulge on one side (the "driver's" side if it was a (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Jake, I like it. Nice use of the 1x2 windows on the front, it's hard to get the front windows right with only six studs, but those little windows seem to do a nice job of it. I like the gray color scheme also. jt -- James J. Trobaugh North Georgia (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
