I have the Southern and Original NS. The 1030 on order. After being at the Tunnel last weekend I am going to order the Virginian. Guess it will take a few Christmas's to get the others. ;D

Can they focus the camera next time? I can't tell if the paint is flat or that's noise from the camera.

Ed:

Obviously, these 1/87th models don't have the 3 brilliant coats of clear lacquer that the "real" units have.

That said, they are very nice.  All of them!

Here are two close-up's with a flash unit from the Atlanta Nat'l Train Show (knocked-down a bit with PhotoShop to minimize any glare).

Don't let the drab colors on the Wabash unit (on this end) confuse you . . . all the units are neat.
