| | | | | There is enough engines for everyone to get 1 or 2. Besides the VP said "It's a series of 10,000. We run out of the numbered ones at 10,000." He laters says that if they need more they will make more (most likely without the number). Also on the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | i agree with this sentiment. in my mind limited edition in the case of the super chief is a short production run of 10,000 and NO MORE. what's the point of having a LIMITED EDITION if only a second run is going to be made with the only difference (...)
