Hi Bill,
I got the same catalog from my hobby dealer the other day and saw the tank
cars. They do look good! He ordered some for stock since he knows he can
sell a couple right away. Maybe you, (or somebody on the list) can help me
find a train set that I've been looking for. A few years ago "K-Line"
produced a introductory train set that had as I recall a CB&Q "Alco" S-1 for
power. I would like to purchase the "set" (or at least the way car) if I can
locate one. If you, or anybody else on the list, would know where I might
find one please let me know.
Thanks..
Ken
