I pre-ordered an EL unit which will benefit the real engine.  I also donated $5 online.  Not a fortune, but something.

I think this is a good idea, much like the New Haven Society teaming with Rapido.

Delivery is a year away, so there is plenty of time to save $pennies to afford it.

And Athearn is using LED's now which are much improved.  The Tsunami 2 also has great sound and features.
