Now it has to be weathered to match the Panniers!.......

Peco produce coach and wagon kits for 0-16.5 and makes both chassis available as separate kits. These are very old kits but the principle is the same!

Sounds very challenging!

Sightseeing flight operations in Juneau AK today. Presumed to be DH Turbo Otters or something similar - no doubt someone will correct me. These were about half hour flights.

Went down that route but cancelled my order as someone mentioned that another Rapido loco had an odd chassis arrangement. Ordered the SEF one instead. Gibson does the correct P4 wheels but on 1/4” axles - Rapido are rumoured to use 3mm but could be reamed out, maybe. The SEF chassis is good and compensated if you decide to scrap the Rapido one. See my thread below.

RT does a great etched and white metal kit, see my thread below.

The layout could easily represent the pre-pannier era with ex-Met locos.

Precisely, the merger changed Delta's views about Airbus. I was a tech rep at Delta's Tech Ops in Atlanta over that period when they were taking delivery of B767-400s and B777s but the chapter 11 and merger altered their thinking, possibly due to boardroom changes.....

Largely due to amalgamation. Delta was all Boeing in the late 90s and early 2000s, and then merged with Northwest.

Well that could be subjective. In engine controls, which I know something about, the s/w sometimes needs to decide in milliseconds to save the engine and possibly the aircraft....

As an aside, I just had my first MAX 8 flight on Westjet (ATL-YWG). The printed safety card just said B737-800/-8). A nice flight although a little cramped in economy. What surprised me most was my Coke had no ice……

If two values disagree it usually requires a third source (even if derived) to determine which is likely to be wrong.

You got a good deal......

The Baldwin list price was probably about $350.......
