Really nice Paul. 
Lionel hit this one out of the park.

Yes, they just answered me. I was going to post the same. I ordered one.
Well, the good folks at METCA have done it to me again… wasn’t able to resist one of their recent custom run Lionel H-15-44’s in New Jersey Central livery. While I don’t limit my purchases to a specific time frame or railroad, I have been trying to pick up pieces from any roads that ran in my current neck of the woods in NE Pennsylvania. From what I’ve read, Scranton was the western terminus of the NJC. Again, from what I’ve read, Raymond Lowey had a hand in the design of the H-15-44’s… while it doesn’t live up to the T1 or GG1, there is something interesting about their boxy look. I particularly like the cab windows. Another great job by METCA!!!
Interestingly, the paint scheme closely resembles my brother’s first engine (now under my care!!!) - a post war NJC 621 switcher.
And in an odd coincidence, I was in Scranton on Saturday for dinner, and on the way home, I passed the old CNJ Freight Station. I hope someone is able to restore the building.

Just got it last night. The website now says sold out.
Can I add G purchase to this post?

🤣🤣🤣... Speak for yourself. Justify away Paul. Think of this as your confessional booth.
My Baldwin/Walthers GG1 finally showed up. Actually I just opened the box. It’s set up for two rail. This one has a bronze shell casting., about 18 pounds lol. Quite the doorstop.

It was a good thing, I was happy to take ownership of such a fine vintage blob of metal.

Nice find.
BUT, will it run on O27 curves?
Even though I am an O guy, we also have a G layout at the club.
So I bought a Bachmann Eggliner for fun.

Come now, gentlemen… I am not justifying my weakness, nor does it need any justification. I would have thought that, by now, you would have realized that trains are their own justification in and of themselves 
And as for the confessional booth, Donnie, having two replaced knees, kneeling for a prolonged period of time is definitely off the table - forgive me fellow forumites for I have bought another train

Not even close lol. 48” radius yes
I got this 3 car set for $60 from a tier 4 set breakup. They're not scale and the yellow color isn't great. I'm not sure if I'll keep them forever, but they're mine for now 😆

They may not be scale, in a world that doesn't worry about scale curves, the question is how do they look in consist. They look great in the photo
