Thanks Geris
He is quite the handsome engine for sure. I opted to buy the regular TS-04 (version before this release) with the long side rods for my Future World collection.. I do like these new designed side rods and hope they start using them on all their new steam type engines that don't have the ability to use the long ones. I have a feeling that they may have stopped using the long ones in favor of these because the long ones could get pulled out and bend by the children playing with them. I agree with you on the front facing cab windows and that a little black paint for the side cab windows would have been nice too. I enjoy your reviews as you have an edge of excitement to your commentary that it lacking in some Online reviews.
