stitch it together, lol. its not to hard.
I know a few time I saw Silverliner IIIs on ebay and there a rumor going around IHP is have another run of Silverliner IIIs. I don't feed into that since there no proof. (Even IHP's website is down at the moment.) So I might buy one from Ebay when I get my credit card back. Just need to play the waiting game. I know the SEPTA store had them but I'm not sure on the status of those. And if there were any left, they would probably be over priced anyway.
Well, i'm just going to say, i've been lurking the interwebs, hunting such things, and other than IHP directly selling Silverliner IIIs on ebay, i haven't really seen them around. at all. and they were $165 MSRP. I got lucky with my pair for $35, but the bottom line is that most people will put the bid up higher than what it was.
and trust me, the SEPTA store has not had silverliner models in years, other than the recently released Silverliner IVs, which i'm told will be in the store soon if not already, and the Silverliner Vs which will be there this December. IHP is repairing their website and making it better, but before it shut down temporarily, i saw that the Silverliner IIIs are discontinued. I don't think they're that common.
I'm not saying you can't get them, by all means, go for them if you find them, because while IMW will always have silverliner IIs around, the Silverliner IIIs are finite. there were only so many of them.
As for 217, he need a pantograph, wheels and a drive. Both of which I can find on IMW website. I'm pissed the decal don't extacly fit like a glove. But the glove not fitting did make me acquit, I reversed the 'S' on one side like it's prototype.
I wish there would be a better pantograph. there really isn't any other option for a faively pantograph. the largest european ones are too small, and there aren't any sold seperate here. They would theoretically be easy to make, but once again, building the base to hold them all together may be tricky (gonna have to invest in photo etching machines).
