Okay, thanks for the tip.  The P2K SD45s seem a bit more rare than other manufacturers.  I've been keeping up on eBay for a while and have seen relatively few of them, and never an EL-decorated one.

Hmmm...okay.  I'm just getting back into the modeling aspect of the hobby after about a 20 year hiatus.  Those RPM people intimidate the hell out of me.

Yeah, but the Tangent stuff seems hard to come by.  I'm here in Greenville, SC.  They are up in Asheville, NC (about an hour drive), and I can't get the stuff.  They won't talk to my local train store and he can't get their products.  Do they only do internet sales to individuals, or what?  I don't see them listed on Walthers or Horizon Hobby's web sites.

I'm anticipating an EL car from them, because the EL had PS4740s.  Wouldn't that be nice?  Not that anyone could ever get one, mind you...
