Hi folks,

I finally picked up my F89F flats from my dealer, and here's a shot of each
scheme that's appropriate for EL modelers, with some trailers thrown on top
for good measure. These are wonderful, fine-detailed models that have
free-standing ACI placards that you have to cement on yourself - they look
beautiful once installed!

The car is beautifully done, but I should warn anyone who purchases one -
REMOVE THEM CAREFULLY FROM THE PLASTIC "SHELL" CONTAINING THE CAR! They're
awfully tight around the car, and it might be a more prudent move to cut the
plastic away to allow the car to be released more easily. I've already heard
of a few people damaging the fine details trying to remove them from the
container.

Also, it appears that the hole on the top of the hitch isn't quite large
enough to completely fit the kingpin on Athearn trailers. Mine will only go
in about half-way, and the trailer will not sit right on top of the hitch.
I'm going to try and ream the hole out a bit to see if I can get them to sit
correctly.

- Paul
