      Dude1, hopefully he's not driving. He's a 'Beemer Freak'. They'll be in Salt Lake City tonight. I'll do a rough count. I work special tools for the Buick dealership I work at & the tools I have ordered are scheduled for early 2022 shipment. They are usually in stock for immediate shipping.

        Rough count of a little less than a thousand not counting figs. for those inquiring minds. The vette is on its' way to Washington State & both SWMBO's GMC & the Camaro are snuggly nestled in the garage.

            Andrew, more easily done if collected back in the 60s thru 80s as much less expensive back then.

            Calling this one done. Med detachment usually at battalion level, but thought more appropriate for this engagement.

                I'm with you Paul, I remember they ranged from .29 to .59 each with the occasional .69 or .79 on some of the larger pieces.....I was glad when Roco finally got the scale right and started producing some pretty accurate models.......didn't mind paying a little more for better quality. You have me beat....I'm at just over 900 not counting figs. Rick H.
