I have my trade for the other 2 4536s I wanted, so no more requests on those,
please.
I'm still open to trading 4532/4537/4539/4561/4565s towards 4558 Metroliners (OR
grey windows/doors/train plates from 4558/4547s), actual sets traded to be
determined by condition of the 4558s. All of my sets are MISB.
