Considering the no of the set is 29490, one could assume it's 'just' a 37490 (the black/green GG-1). Whilst they're at it, 're-cycling' oldies, we'll probably see the PRR caboose + cars from previous sets [:(]. BUT there is always hope...

The dark green GG-1 sold so well she was out of stock, fast  My guess for that PRR Starter Set: brown GG-1, brown Box Cars, brown Caboose, MS, C-track. But there's always hope for a MIKADO or PA-1 in new livery during 2008 ... |

Thank you Nev  , this is a loco from another era, not only the prototype but the model as well. You should get one, although it is a nice loco you can still find many of them at ebay. It was produced 18 years ago. |

About M 37622 - Santa Fe F7 A+BJohns first picture just above here shows the 37622 pictured in the news 1998. The locomotive is passing a beach full of people. In this picture you can clearly see that the B-unit and the "Super cheif" indianhead is in the right direction with indianhead pointing forward. This was ofcouse how the Santa Fe company wanted it to look like, and with the combination of one A-unit and one B-unit it usually did.
When added more locomotives, A or B-units, or changing/splitting up units to put in a new group of units, the indianhead sometimes ofcouse ended up "backwards". But as said, this was very unusual in a A+B combination.
To the point! The right-combination pre-production M 37622 showed in News-1998 was mysteriously changed when going in to serial production. 37622 was sadly released with a "backward" B-unit. That is a mystery to me, and i guess for the Super Cheif too. |

Right. On my (regular production) #37622 that indian's head is also wrong, of course. But then I tend to forgive such minor flaws ...  |
