BLR TRAIN TRIP

Well the wife and I finally did it. We booked a rail trip on VIA from Toronto to Jasper and then we will pick up the Rockey Mountaineer to Vancover in June. We were planning this for our 50th anniversary in 2013, but our children said don't wait, do it now, so we book the trip. We are really looking forward to this trip. Still no news on the LGB Uinath #50 Mallet I order in Feb. Delivery was changed to Mar and now May. It was scheduled to come out in 2009. It looks like the new Aristo-Craft Mallet with all the new updates looks really nice. I cannot run it on my layout due to the curves required, but I can run it on the patio where I lay down 36ft of track and just run it back and forth like I do my SD70mac every summer. It's due out in May also so I am going to wait until then so I can get a good look at it, before making a decision on it
