An End to the Tether

MTH has announced that certain steam locomotives in their 2007 Vol. 1 catalog will have enhanced details (such as scale-sized smokebox door hinges) and will also have the tether connections between the locomotive and tender concealed in the drawbar.  This is a major step forward in terms of appearance and has been keenly anticipated by many hobbyists.  I look forward to seeing the first one when it's released.
