sounds GREAT !!! can't wait to see them. Thanks for the update AL !!
I realize it's a long-shot... If anyone wants to sell a break-up of their 3-pack, I'd be interested in purchasing the tanker (at a reasonable price).
I'm just not that big a fan of bay window cabooses, so I didn't purchase the add-on set -- opting instead to pick up the helicopter car (extras were released earlier at train shows) along with a Texas Special extended vision caboose from another set break-up.
Didn't take long for the helicopter cars to hit eBay... So perhaps we'll see these there in one form or another as well.
Up until yesterday, the set was still for–sale on the LCCA website at the "premium" $339 price (as opposed to the $269 price for folks who purchased the loco/calf/mint combo), but has since been pulled. I have a hunch there still may be some inventory of these cars, as I've often seen the LCCA folks making them available on eBay -- usually at a premium though.
