Interesting! This story confirms what I've heard before that they were not good driving cars.

However, they are gorgeous! I have my Bauer on order. My latest understanding is they are supposed to ship this or next month. I have my fingers crossed.

Marlowe, I look forward to seeing your pics once you finally receive it

This should be an excellent model.

I've purchased a glass display case for it. I think it has the chance of being...

... the crown jewel of my collection. I don't have ANY space for it but I have models currently on display that I'll gladly sacrifice for the Bauer.

Spoken like a true collector...

"I don't have any space for it, but..."

I've been putting off building a larger display case so I can display my CMC Bartoletti transporter with cars on it. My current case top is about a 1/2" low. Until I get that completed, it along with some of the models I will put on it are taking up some display space that could be used by other models!

When have you been told it is ready for shipping??

I also have one on order and OF COURSE I would be happy to received it for my birthday (I am turning on the big "6" at the end of the month) so I would deserve it before you LOL.

Richard when is your Birthday? Mine is Jan 29th!

Somehow I knew you were Aquarious too! I can tell by your eccentric side (in a "good way") 😉 I think all of us Aquarians are eccentric! lol
