I got an e-mail from my supplier on Tuesday that their shipment of K-27s was in and they had #453 reserved for me. I rushed over there on Wednesday and it was already sitting on a cart still boxed up. They showed me the other #453 in their display case and I had real trouble holding back the salivation. When I got it home I took it out of the superb packaging and all I could say was.....WOW! what a beauty. I've got lots of Bachmann products on my HO and On30 layouts and have the two truck Shay and the Connie in Fn3, but the K is a work of art. Thanks Bachmann, you've excelled again.
