Friday morning, I received a call which made my year. Waiting for pickup was a Green #455 K-27.
I concur with Roger's post on the packing...excellent. A suggestion was made to me concerning UNpacking. First get the cab end out a little , then scoop your arm under the loco, and lift, it will pop out of the packaging fairly easily.
I am totally blown away by this loco. Detail is excellent, paint and lettering sharp. This version included a spark arrestor and various other parts (I have a bag of two small black discs as well).
My project for today is to oil her up and have a little fun. It was worth the wait!
Happy New Year to all,
Soulmann
Happy to see someone got their Green 455. I am still waiting as Caboose Hobbies has not received their 10 pallets. Did it come with the plow brackets to fill the holes in the smoke box?
I just checked all the parts.....I did not see any brackets. I'll check again, and if I find otherwise, I'll re-post.
Hang in there.....it will be well worth it!
Let us know when yours arrives.
Take care,
Soulmann
