Alco PA-B units have come in

According to Mountain Town Hobbies in Mt. Pleasant Michigan the PA-B set and the additional PA locomotives that I ordered have finally come in. These units were manufactured by MTH and are equipped with sound and smoke capability. I have been waiting for them since July 2012 when I ordered them. I cant wait to run them in the front of my New York Central passenger train. however, I need to come up with the money for them.
