FANTASTIC!!! Thank You Chrisjo!!!
One of my favorite Diesels, I love this chronological story as I have never seen something like this all in one place before. I love all the versions especially since the shells are pretty much interchangeable with all the chassis's. This has been so beneficial for me as I have searched out many of the Post 2002 chassis to replace all the ones I have had that do not have the white handrails. I prefer the look of the white handrails chassis with the gray wheels There are a few different variations, Black chassis with white rails, gray with white rails, a darker gray with white rails. There are even different colors of the chassis stripe on the sides. Another big bonus is the fact the chassis are also interchangeable with my other favorite diesels...the DE-10's which also have some exclusive chassis. I do have to say the I was a bit disappointed that the, soon to be re-release (March) of the Hokutosei DD51 Tandem Sleeper set, does not have the chassis with the white handrails.
I know you put in a lot of time and research into these Threads and this is another one that I think is valuable for all to see and learn from whether a Member at BPT's or visitor. It answers so many questions and this will be place in the Important Threads area at the very top of this Forum.
Thank you Dr Chris
