(...) Well seeing as how they are 60 miles apart and South Bend (which is serviced by South Shore) is 90 miles from Chicago, I'd think they are different cities. But what do I know?

I'm going to reply to my own post, bad form I know but I seems to do it all the time! What I meant to get across with my last paragraph, but completely failed was that I feel that this is like a great TLC/TLG set, in the same way that the Santa Fe (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

I have to say I love this, you really seem to be on a roll at the moment. The choice of protoype is good, the livery is very attractive and the choice of orange makes for a great model. These is one (or five) of those models that work at two levels, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
