Future vintage
I like these tributes as it allows me to own what has been the past successful models. To find the original in NOS is almost impossible nowadays unless you pay huge premium and there’s the question on authenticity too. It will of course never be the same ...
I would have to agree with this Trilogy collection!
My collection includes 2 of the 3 pieces: I saw the Railmaster yesterday at a local AD. Maybe, that may come to the collection . . . 🤞 ...
