Dave you had me going there for a second until the N scale punchline!

Sorry Bill i just couldn't help myself. That Liberty Liner should be sharp when you have it on the layout. Btw the march show which i will attend i will bring the 6 unit Acela. I have not run it in over 2 years so it will be exciding.

Dave

With any luck we can have the Acela, Liberty Liners and HHP-8 all running at that show :-)

Now that would be cool!!

Dave

I have it on very good and reliable authority that the Liberty Liners, baring any last minute hijacking, will be in your dealer's store in about 2 weeks.

Bill

No boxes on the doorstep today.

The deliveryman told me that there were too many wet, slippery leaves on the P&W tracks which has delayed your anticipated celebration. Why don't you look at some train videos instead? A good one would be "Danger Lights". That's the story of a too demanding railroading man!

And if that doesn't satisfy you, try this:
Guess??


Bill

The liberty liners have all been sent back to China, sorry guys.

Dave

We shipped ours out last week

Willis Hobbies has received their order. While they look nice MTH didn't do the full conversion from the Electroliner:

1. The Liberty Liners still have the low entrance steps from the Electroliners;
2. MTH didn't add the third set of doors on the middle coach section.

At least MTH did remember not to add trolley poles to the Liberty Liners. And the quality of the paint is excellent.

This old film shows it should have Trolley Poles..

Liberty Liners

Joe,

The poles were reinstalled for the Museum location as they don't have a 'hot' 3rd rail which the P&W has.

Ouch! 3rd Rail did both of these changes (and removed the poles, as well). I guess that this is the difference between having to use a single set of tools for injection molding and hand-fashioning a limited run of brass train sets. Hope they look OK, otherwise.

Mine arrived today. Haven't had a chance to look them over yet.

BillP e-mailed me tonight to state that his favorite LHS received theirs yesterday and he would probably receive it tomorrow.

Let's see, October 14 + 2 weeks (14 days) is October 28th which is the day the LHS received them.

BTW, once you receive them, please let the Forum know so this thread can pass silently into the All Hallow's night!

Bill

Heh Bill - What's the product number on that bad boy?.... Saw the Liberty Liners at York and we just might have to find a set.....

Found it - 20-2887-1....

Blessed Relief!

So we can now (hopefully) put this thread to eternal rest. TG!


Wait!
(Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Webmaster)
Wait!
(Waaaaaaaaaiiiiit Mr. Webmaster)
Please Mr. Webmaster, look and see
(Whoa yeah)
If there's a way to lock this thread right now!
(Please, please Mr. Webmaster)
Why's it takin' a mighty long time
(Whoa yeah)
For me to see this thread get buried!
