Detroit 3 railers met at the club house and many purchased the new triplex's they look and operate beautifully! Great times were had by all before the great trip to York!

Don't temp me any more than I already am. In a perfect world, I'd have snagged this Halloween Triplex model by now. But we all have our limits. I chose the F-19 Halloween locomotive, which should have been here by now. But we all know they've been delayed. And I'm THIS close to purchasing the METCA Halloween A5. So these two locomotives COMBINED are less expensive than the Halloween Triplex.

So these two locomotives COMBINED are less expensive than the Halloween Triplex. IMO the METCA Halloween A5 has a much more appealing paint scheme than anything Lionel or MTH has produced thus far. Except for the glow in the dark feature and somber tender all the Halloween Triplex is is big and black with some orange thrown in to make it qualify for Halloween. And Dave, stick by your previous post that you really had to be into Halloween to shell out $2,249-$2,449 for a Halloween Triplex. The F-19 Halloween version seems much more fearsome looking to me with a spookier tender. You will be much better served with an A5 and F-19 or a Halloween Camelback from a few years ago. For further perspective there is the Lionel Pacific 4-6-2 Halloween Pacific with the added element of orange wheels rather than white walls and fearsome pumpkin faces on the sand dome. The tender is suitably creepier. All in all a superior Halloween paint scheme to the Triplex IMO.

It would be groovy to have the Munsters theme song in your Halloween loco…  |

Lot's of nice trains running that night. The Christmas trains are also fun to watch,
Edit: I don't think the Triplex was meant to be scary. It is colorful and large.
