    part 3 of another my thoughts post

    since we've entered june i had thought of doing another follow up post. this one is once again on nick's animated shows (since i've seen everyone seemed to like the two i did at the start of the year i've been thinking hard of doing a third one). this is going to include only three shows.

another thing i founded out · 12:32pm May 6th

so when i did the post sharing that berwyn's toys & trains will be doing a custom run of the cn grand trunk heritage unit from mth. i founded out that they're also going to a custom run of the illinois centeral heritage unit from mth to. so now i'm glad that they're offering almost all the cn units (hope they'll do the bc rail and the veteran units). now as i said the ic unit was originally my number 1 favorite of the bunch until i started to like the ej&e unit more (i'll just say now it's a tie with the ic and the ej&e units as favorites). in fact last year the two units got a wash down and they look better than ever (a little fact the mth version of the ic unit will have the ipo 25th anniversary stickers but both that and ej&e unit don't have them anymore while the other three heritage units do). so this maybe a think about until it comes out. so i just thought i share that i founded out the same place is doing another one of the cn heritage units by mth. so that's somthing i'll think about buying. thanks for reading.
