So Just for kicks, how many responders lamenting this postponement actually placed an order?
The key is the total number ordered. Personally, I am with Jim above - my interest in all things railroad stops at 1964. The SD-9 is the last Diesel that even remotely interests me. But Jim and I do not represent the market.
I am intrigued that 3 railers are represented as more forgiving when it comes to minor details. My impression is the opposite, except for tracks, wheels, and couplers.
