Just curious about your statement re the LL E-8's in correct CPR Livery. I have one that came in what I believe is the correct CPR colours. It was among the first released may years ago. Possibly it was a custom HobbyCraft PK2 scheme that may not have been available in the US. I don't know if it is currenty available. If it was a product of HobbtCraft PK2 then I would doubt that Wathers would have it.

I would post a photo by my digital is in the shop for minor service (connection on camera to ouput pictures to a TV quit recently)

  O.K., Keith, I'll bite. Why would you begin with a plastic E6/9
to come up with a correct CPR #1800 when there are LL PPK E-8's
available? Would it not be better to convince LifeLike/Walthers to
offer their E-8 in correct CPR livery? Yes, I know that is about as
hard to convince them to do as convincing them to offer the CPR E-8
original mates, B&M E-7's in their orignal "Rock Island" style paint,
seems to be. But I'd join the effort if you like and do know who to
call.

Just a thought, Don Valentine
