Right now I am looking for 2 Athearn Challengers in the UP roadname. I am wanting the 3977 Greyhound paint and then one of the other UP#'s. Anyone have a local shop that might have what I am looking for instock please let me know and a phone # I can reach the shop at. I got in late on this release but I will not let that happen on the Big Boys. I have 2 of them on reserve now and am being told by Athearn that they will be out the last week of Febuary. I am not letting the Daylight get away from me either. It just seems like se have waited for Ncale steam for so long and then it all comes at us at once. I am hoping that Kato will announce the SD70Ace's in various roadnames and all of the UP heritage locos now that so much other coolk stuff is comming out. I haven't bought much stuff lately but it looks like that will be changing. As always I thank you for your help in advance.
Last time I was in my LHS, they had a greyhound, but that was a month ago. look up "The Train Shop in Santa Clara CA on yahoo and their ph # should pop up, they're not open on sunday's and monday's
