I really hate autoart.

this has been on my list, and I still want one, but for some reason hesitation is building as this (at least from pictures) doesnt seem to be on par with other 250$ autoarts... Am I wrong?

Yes, these steams (especially Lionels) have quite the list of electronic features, and account for a good chunk of the cost. Unfortunately to run these things, you need quite the layout to accommodate those large radius turns. Thats why mine are parked

Sure, here are some older pics since I cant locate my SD card adapter at the moment :) Southern Pacific 4-8-8-2 Cab forward weathered (brass import) Duluth Missabe 2-8-8-4 (Iron Horse precision scale import) Baltimore & Ohio 2-8-8-4 (Lionel) UP 4-8-8-4 Big Boy (Lionel) http://i288.photobucket.com/al...

So what is the difference between the WRC and the carbon with orange effects/wheels? Obviously production, yes, but the cars themselves look about 99% the same.

1% difference being the COA being worth 5x as much haha

Looks like were on the same page, is that yours?

^^Marshall, I have 8 O scale locomotives on the same wall. Although I usually dont like mixing different genre in a single display, my goal was to get everything I have in cases (90% cars, 10% locos) all together on the 26' blank wall. I was always into cars, and had a small train set growing up, bu...

Great write up and I agree. I may be wrong here, im sure someone will correct me if they disagree, but I personally think MR has become the masters of making money off of limited tooling iterations. They produce limited runs, say 10,20,or 50 pieces world wide, which sets a price point of north of $5...

$219?? I hope thats correct!! That sounds really low to me, the current TSM sealed 1/18 P1 (sealed +blacked out windows = most likely no engine or interior) is just over 200 from what I have seen.

I wonder what the price will be for the opening P1? That is going to be wicked!

Id say the Zonda R is autoarts best engine replication to date. Theres just somethin about the white coated exhaust that really sets it off.

Haha yea, i think its quite apparent that the Huayra will be the release 95% of people have been waiting a long time for.

Im hoping they make the Champaigne metallic color. Kind of surprised that hasnt been one of the first released colors, as I think that is the official original color of the Huayra? At least the first I ever saw.

BBR's looks amazing, but I dont want sealed.

I think I can manage that! It is quite worthy of sharing some of its glory, and explaining why it is the most expensive model I have purchased to date! Amazing car.

Finally arrived today. My camera had 13 seconds of juice, enough to take one shot and shut off!
