    My Pacific Parlour Car arrived today and here are some quick photos in marginal light. I manipulated them a bit with software so any weirdness in the colors is due to that and I apologize.

    The car comes in a cardboard box with internal foam and piece of straight Unitrack.

    The UPS guy was so apologetic over the shipping charges he offered to mow the lawn...

    Very nice. I waited too long to order one and they disappeared. I am hoping they do another run, maybe a "Willamette Valley" one.

    It might be worth ordering one now... they have another shipment coming in and the worst that would happen is that you wouldn't get one. Ordering now will put you higher in the back order queue!

    Also, I should have posted this earlier (I forgot), but I called because I had an issue with my credit card and the lady on the phone set me up with USPS shipping and it was a lot cheaper! I don't know why the option doesn't appear on the site.

    I'm pretty dissapointed in the inkjet graphics applied to these cars. I wish Kato had stuck with pad printing. The stripes and lettering are fuzzy, especially over the corrugations.

    I see that they didn't even bother removing the Santa Fe siding placards. :eek:hboy:
