Tinibert, check the current GR for Rich Yoder Models. He's doing a brass model of the EBT's mikados. There are a few of us who have been relentless (to put it politely) in our efforts to have Bachmann produce one in plastic. It's become somewhat of a running joke between a few of us here.

As for the grass-eating train, perhaps a "yard goat?"

("Yard goat" is slang for a switching locomotive.)

I second the motion for selling the trucks individually. I swapped the Vulcan trucks for archbar trucks under my hopper, too, and am going to use the hopper's trucks under a box car. I'll want to swap future hoppers as I get them in the future, and unless I can find a willing trade partner, I'll have to buy a flat car for each hopper just to use the trucks.

Glad to see the change, too. Now, let's see if my profile info got entered properly...

"Preview" and "Edit," too.

Now, about that EBT mikado...
