Thanks for the reply! Then it looks like I was very lucky to score two sets when I did! Since I originally started this thread, I've found only one other person who has two sets (if I recall it was on Facebook), they did not clarify where/when they got them, and planned (like me) on holding onto the...

GREAT review. However, just a correction to your description of the coaches. The prototypes are not riveted aluminum, they are welded stainless steel.

No need to kit-bash or scratchbuild. Your prayers have been answered, by Atlas, of all makers...

Got 8 of these beauties myself. While some details are off compared to their respective prototypes, these are beautiful models.

Just pre-ordered MN 2031. If these live up to Rapido's usual standards, they'll go nicely with my two Overland CDOT MK rebuilds 2024 and 2026.

Well, I've finally gotten all my MP36's. Overall, despite some detail discrepancies from the prototypes, I love them! I had an issue with MBTA 010 (damaged railings and missing parts). Wrote Darren, he was going to pass it onto Mark. Never heard from Mark, so several weeks later I contacted Darren a...

You and me both! BTW, we're neighbors... I'm in Sterling.

You should come check out the club I belong to in Worcester. 010 will be there next Saturday hauling passengers.

Just received my Kawasaki SEPTA "City Car" # 9111. These models are exquisite!! Details are intricate and accurate, fit and finish are superb! Demarcation lines between colors are sharp with no overspray, colors are vibrant and the lettering, logos and destination signs are sharp and legib...

Very, VERY excited about this one Mike. I just literally ordered mine. Keep up the good work!

OK, todays update: My Northstar units (501 and 503) arrived today, and they are IMPRESSIVE ! This variant has different details than the Metrolink, including number boards on either side of the headlight housing and NO rear markers (correct for Northstar. as mentioned before, the rear markers are NO...

Crap another 50 bucks. now its almost not worth it Yeah, that had me a little grumbly too.... but they're still worth it at that price. I mean, what was the last current plastic commuter loco model we've had done in HO (even with some minor detail glitches)? Maybe if they don't sell out fast, M.B. ...

CalTrain, MARC, VRE and Northstar are in stock at M.B. Klein. Just ordered my Northstar MP36. Unknown when MBTA, UTA, GO, WCE or METRA will be released, but hopefully they'll continue the releases so they're all available by the end of the year. For the "rivet counters" amongst us, from th...

After doing some diligent scrutiny and then comparing the model with the volume of photos of Metrolink MP36's I have, I did notice one detail discrepancy..... not particularly a bad thing from my standpoint, but it might have rivet-counters gnashing their teeth: The TLT Metrolink unit sports large e...
