Well, I'm happy that there's a green one (even though I've just built my own
green engine). I'm dying to order one. A sort of muted "I told you so"
from those of us who figured it would just be a colour swap, not a
full-blown engine designer suite - muted because there seems to be more than
one design there, and you can leave the tender off. [Cue clamouring for
having coloured tenders available as 'upgrade kits' - some people are never
statisfied ;) ]. Alright, kudos to those who never got sucked into the
whole silly discussion, too.
The other colours are a bit curious though. I don't want to sound
hypocritical, because I love building rolling stock in brown and tan and
other realistic muted colours - but steam engines are typically a little
colourful. At least a red one would appeal to the kids market, wouldn't it?
Anyway, get your speculation in now, before they finish it! ;)
Come on, I want one! I want one!
