Subject: Tangent gons are out...
"IMG_5420.jpg" - image/jpeg, 3648x2736 (24bit)

My order just arrived today... here are two shots of the DL&W scheme car.

By the way, has anyone else gotten theirs yet? I ordered four (one DL&W, one
PRR, two PC). The pair of PC gons roll beautifully, but both the DL&W and
PRR gons drag badly (you give it a push, and it rolls for about a 1/2 inch
before screeching to a halt). I've taken the trucks off, and the wheels are
free rolling, but it appears that the flanges just barely scrape the
underside of the car creating friction. It looks like I'll have to add a
shim washer to give it some more separation, but I'm wondering if anyone
else had seen this?

I'll have to drop Tangent a line to see what they think.

Regardless, the DL&W car is simply BEAUTIFUL! Perfect lettering, great
detail, and I'm hoping we'll see EL in the future!
