I was thinking along the same lines about obtaining new power with other road names which we can repaint latter or use the idea they are on loan/leased. I think we can use and additional 4 road units. I'm willing to front the money for the purchase. The cost can be split between our budgets. Currently Caboose Hobbies has Kato SD40's for $60.88....which ia steal I plan on purchasing 2 for my self.
Poeple please provide feedback.
