A UP GP20 I bought at the end of a show with custom bent handrails, just added today, and standard stanchions from an auction. Gotta love that color scheme.

IN keeping with the flow, I am presenting my Tyco Mantua Burlington, in red livery. I don't know if I've even tried this locomotive yet, been in a box. Front truck is stiff side-to-side, will have to check it out.
Will be fun to get my BN consist up and running , with a mixture of red and green, plus a few yellow and black cars as well.

Here are a few of the more unusual Tyco GP-20's:
C &NW, Early version of the Ill Central in Silver/Red, Western Pacific and GM &O.
Somewhere in a box I have a Tyco GP-20 Cotton Belt- Found it.
The harder to find one I don't have is a Red Box Rio Grande.

All original, All picked off of Ebay in the last 2 yrs.
The Ill Central and the Cotton Belt were the only ones I have ever seen.

I got this engine along with 2 others on ebay for 30 bucks. A bit noisy but a decent runner.

Some more of the HTF GP20's...
There are two variants in the Tyco CNW: this one has the roadnumber. Mantua re-released this roadname almost identically in the 80's, but every one I have seen has the CNW logo on the cab canted incorrectly.
Numberboards are as it came to me. Not the first time an oops with numberboards has been seen....
The Tru-Scale one is factory painted, but the white paint is a flat finish which is unusual. I don't know if it was made my Tyco, or if Tru-scale got some undecs and had them painted elsewhere. I am leaning towards Tyco owing to the pad print used for the red deco. Have no idea why this was made, otherwise.
