    Following their method of previous releases, Tangent announces theirs when then are ready for sale. These were evidently for sale at the recent St. Louis RPM Meet and released to certain vendors there. I just got mine from Spring Creek Trains in Deshler, NE (402-365-7628). The price is $44.95 and they have them in stock. You can click on the small half-images to enlarge them showing the tremendous level of detail.
