Western New York And Pennsy they are still using them Ben
Bowser doesn't do Fantasy RR-ing. So if a Western Road didn't Acually use them Bowser won't produce them.

Niiiiiice. I guess I'll have to start saving for a demo unit. $300 with DCC & sound. So since I collect such issues - anyone know any tips for getting them below retail? This would be the most I'd ever laid out for a locomotive but I do want one!

Thats a nice ALCO, but I can't justify $300 for it. I'm lucky to justify $250 for a DCC with sound Articulated steamer nevermind a diesel!
NICE tho......I'd take one a better price in SCL!

If a DC model is cheaper, I'll take the SCL and Demo unit. Heck, might get a decal copy of the seals on the SO76 430 and make the new one a clone!

What a cool CGI of a great model. Somehow the MU2 powered Tyco C430 suits me better.
Thanks for dropping this off Romcat.

That's exciting news. Knowing Bowser it will be a nice unit. Here's a photo of the only HO C430 model I can afford.
A good ol' TYCO with custom paint and decals.

Never seen a better looking Tyco C430, NC Shortlines, but then I'm partial to SCL black and yellow!
