There was a B17 (and many others) at the airshow, though admittedly I semi neglected it, since its not publicly accessible at this show, and there seem to be quite a few B17s still around. Its a bad way of looking at things, but hey, limited camera battery that day.

Such is the pain of all commuter modellers! always the steep price tag. Fortunately, my local hobby shop seems like they will stock up and hold some for me. It also looks like I might get to dig a ditch in exchange for trains (need to install a electric wire for a dog collar). I might be able to squeak out a 10 car consist, which would be ideal.
I didn't take any pictures, but I saw island model works is offering an improved Comet I cab car, rebuilt with high doors. I count the rivets, so you can be sure these are a major improvement over the original Comet I cars by Island Model Works. Might be up your alley. I will definitely pick up one, but I hope he'll make the low door versions to match my older EL era U34CHs.
Speaking of which, rumors of a properly done U34CH exist, with the nose light. Apparently, if the U-boats are ever produced again, they will include NJT versions with the appropriate details.
Lately the passenger situation has been getting exhausting. I'm glad they are being produced, but its hard for me to keep up at this time, and I'm letting a lot of models I really want slip by. there are a lot of MP54s i wish i had, and I can semi justify them since i actually run under wire! The FL9s are tough to. Already on the hook for a Reading Company RDC-1 by rapido.
I still need to boost my Amfleet I roster up, but i've been bogged down in other projects and less than planned purchases.
