Mike,

Will this be in your stable soon? In addition to your docs on this car, I like the complete owner history. What are the colors? Good luck.

BTW, is Nicholas Smith still in business? Was stationed near there and made many an excuse to pass by to check out their latest (particularly on the 2nd floor).

Sorry, I have trains on the brain too . Was referring to the Train shop that has been there for the better part of a century. 2 huge floors of multiple scale trains with the 2nd floor filled with multiple layouts with incredible detail and SOUND! Terrific vintage memorabilia/posters of old train stations on the walls too - much like a museum. Just off the 476 (rt. 3, I think) in Broomall.
