You don't see these all that often.

That set was hard to find when I was looking for them. I got one from a seller and returned it because when they were unpacked by someone, they put the shells back in on top of the handrails for the long hood of the geep. The little upturned ends caused major gouging and scratches on the F unit.

I like the dark green and orange better.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoy the story sheet. I try and photograph it so that it is legible.

In case some one doesn't know; if you right click on a picture and then click on "view image" it opens it in a new window and makes it zoomable.

The only special edition I have is a SF boxcar set. I'll try to find the box and show it one of these days.

michael1: San Bernardino CA: 104 degrees today. Should start seeing a "cooling" trend down to the high 90s later this week. Time to break out the jackets. Jul 10, 2024 12:54:24 GMT -5

JNXT 7707: That Nevada heat is not only hot, but super dry. So it doesn't "feel" as hot but if you don't drink water it'll kill you. Jul 12, 2024 16:02:20 GMT -5

newbieho: Just saw that you guys were experiencing hot weather. I was in Singapore from July 15th through the 29th and had beautiful weather there. Between 80 and 90....at night, and 90 and 99 in the day....and about 100% humidity. Hot... Aug 7, 2024 5:42:15 GMT -5
