Well the New Haven "Tiger" EP2 has arrived from China. All is well except one brake cylinder loose in the package, easy fix. Interesting pictures on the box; GG1 and especially that Deutshe Bundesbahn E03 under construction picture:
On the other side of the box are four different electric types:
BTW all available from that manufacturer in display form. From left 103 (former E03) from DB, french multi current CC40100 class, another german electric E19 with edited swastyka from underneath the eagle emblem, and last a "Laminat" Czech electric class 230. Here's my EP2:
Considering the price of about $28 this model has incredible detail, even the rivets are very fine, although all handrails being plastic are thick.
Sharp paint job with very fine edges and lettering. Although i thought about repainting this model into older hunter green paint scheme, i might have to leave it the way it is and just work on motorizing it.
Two of these motors were actually painted in that McGinnis scheme, while the rest were left in green untill retirement.

You’ll like those cars. Nice details but not overwhelming or fragile. I have a few to weather and they just look nice

I am working on that myself. I have quite a few of these, I think I have about 2 dozen but not yet at the half way mark on the loads but will get there. 6 loads I think is what I have thus far. I have the same issue with my woodchip hoppers too.
