DanielB Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Isn't there always? I think you need an F7, personally. Maybe in Santa Fe "Yellowbonnet" scheme to both match and stand out from your other yellow SF locos. Look at it, it's so awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Normally I'd say "DO EEEEEEET!" but as you have a little nipper now, I'd rather not encourage you to drop fat wads of cash on toy trains anymore! However, hypothetically speaking, if you were to go out to buy a loco and that A+B set was there, I'd be all "DO EEEEET!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
