Good things DID come....

Friday morning, I received a call which made my year.  Waiting for pickup was a Green #455 K-27.

I concur with Roger's post on the packing...excellent.  A suggestion was made to me concerning UNpacking. First get the cab end out a little , then scoop your arm under the loco, and lift,  it will pop out of the packaging fairly easily.

I am totally blown away by this loco. Detail is excellent, paint and lettering sharp. This version included a spark arrestor and various other parts (I have a bag of two small black discs as well).

My project for today is to oil her up and have a little fun.  It was worth the wait!

Happy New Year to all,

Soulmann

Happy to see someone got their Green 455.  I am still waiting as Caboose Hobbies has not received their 10 pallets.  Did it come with the plow brackets to fill the holes in the smoke box?

I just checked all the parts.....I did not see any brackets. I'll check again, and if I find otherwise, I'll re-post.

Hang in there.....it will be well worth it!

Let us know when yours arrives.

Take care,

Soulmann
