My loco was shipped out yesterday Friday by First hobby and according
to the UPS tracking report is ten miles from my Michigan home. This
loco weighs in at 25 ounces(two more than the Riv Alley) and has
traction tires.
This is my First Athearn, First buy from Firsthobby and First on line purchase(optional)
RECEIVED? ANY COMMENT?
