@MainLine Steam posted:Glad to see that; Pete, Mario and Pat you have seen this, Thanks again!
Also Thank you too ALL for the encouragement.
Pete - They did come with the diaphragms, but since bought without boxes, when wrapped the diaphragms got distorted in shipping. So I removed to help them get back to "original shape". If they don't, I will try the hair dryer or hot water trick to help them along. Only one was actually torn. But thanks for the info on the Lionel replacement.
John - Thanks for the info on the express boxcar. May add to the Head End Cars, want to see how much "reserve" the loco has with the 7 Cars.
Mario - Will contact soon about coming up to Schenectady. From the angle of the photo, hard to tell, but the scale coupler is installed, I had pulled it to the "up" position before taking this photo. Also played with the cab roof vents.
Pat - Thanks for the info and encouragement.
Trainz actually does have another set of these (with interiors) available right now with boxes. I bought these (without boxes) to save money. The price dropped on the "boxed set" after I ordered these but still not close to what I paid. Not sure when the price will drop again, probably 7-12 days from now. Price is under $300 right now, keep an eye out if interested. Mario you could always upgrade and then sell yours. Dave you might want to see what they are after the next price drop or buy Marios without the interiors. Doing it that way not much of a hit for either of you.
Bob - Thanks for the encouragement.
Have a goodnight guys!
Syracuse… 😉
