My LOTW is a Mehano Canadian National 2-6-0 Mogul that I got at a train show a few years ago for $25. Runs pretty good, actually, especially after I accidentally fixed it. lol Not to mention, she looks pretty sweet.

| That General looks real nice. I've not noticed one before with the flag emblem on the light and the caps on the flag holders. Is this something that was done after manufacture, or was this a special edition Ken?

Found one that fas been on my wish list! An absolutely pristine Tyco E-7 in B&N . Runs beautifully, smooth, quiet, very little run time on this one. All original parts, hasn't been messed with. This LOTW will be put in to commuter train service on the LC&P and soon!.
