Well as soon as it arrives to my door via Feddy or UPPY I will be removing this lovely beautiful item from its box. I will then place it on the table, snap a picture and post it here of this Model train item that I have been waiting for since last year. I do not want to spoil the suprise until the item and I post a picture of it here. We could start the guessing of what it is if youd like? I will give youa hint of what it is.

modern day

mountains

2 fans

4 stripes

2

A BNSF SD something…?

3

You gave it away with that clue…

Its a Mazda[:-^]

4

heritage unit? rio grande?

5

I am going to say it is a Tower 55 in a dream scheme.

[#ditto] That was going to be my guess too, except they have a whole lot more that two fans.

Specifically the D&RGW dream scheme.

Nor does it get to Zoom zoom too much. It works the night shift between Denver & Pueblo creeping over Monument Hill on the joint line at 20 mph.

7

I’d say it’s a sound-equipped DRGW heritage unit.

8

Orange & Black could be Milwaukee colors? an SD something? a Hi something?
Pulls lots of pizza cheeese boxcars?

Go Packers!

9

Maybe,A custom painted TYCO???

Tony Stewart’s Toyota? [:-^]

12

The piece of cheese I found behind the garage fridge the other night? I thought I threw that out…

[:)]

13

Man, someone had to ruin my year. That reminds me I have to choose a new driver to cheer for this year…

14

Hopefully Tony won’t be going zoom zoom this year, I hope he goes wahh wahh.[:(]

15

I also vote for the SP Daylight

16

Sounds like a G scale Rio Grande helicopter. [swg]

Aww man, Due to Monday being a great holiday (MLK Jr day) The post office, UPS, and Fed-Ex are all closed. [%-)] So that means the date of course has changed to Tuesday. It is now a guarantee it will be here Tuesday (IF the other two besides Post office is closed for sure) I know this because at the earliest it could have arrived was today and the mailbox just had BILLS in it. So a couple more days guys!!

As for the guessing. Wow I see some real good guesses here. Keep em coming! Who is right, who is right?!!

18

Remember, this is a family forum; are you absolutely positutely sure you are going to be able to talk about this when it finally does get here?

And does your wife know you ordered one of these things???

BLI’s PA in D&RGW gold,black & silver paint.

IT HAS MADE IT TO MY HOME GUYS!!! Yes!! Ok so I will be home in about 2 hours and will immediately post the pictures of the item I have waited such a long time for. Any last guess of what it is before I reveal the pictures by 6pm. I almost want to leave work early now! LOL
