Starting off with this beauty. Pretty much brand new in the box with handrails, however the outer box is pretty beat up. Thanks Dan!

A most unique and charming piece. I never knew, again, Tyco, did
a GT. Fond memories of Northern Vermont...GT country.

It won't be long until the handrail packets become as rare as the locomotives.

I like them too, especially ones like that that have siderods.
My loco of the week is this Mehano-made Tyco C630 in dumbed-down silver bonnet that I scored at the thrift store. Runs nicely, seems powerful. I have decided that I want to give it proper warbonnet either through masking and painting, or decals - in the case of the latter, GP60 decals look like my best option.

Here is an intresting..albeit gorgeous piece I just scored on the bay.
A custom Alco FA, locomotive detailed up the gazooo....
Ready for this....its a MODEL POWER. Being as I love FA units and Alcos in particular, I just couldn't resist. I am not sure if I will keep the Moder Power Drive or not. I may try to fit a P2K or Walthers drive into it. I will fill all you in as soon as it arrives on how she handles.

Actually, It came with a caboose. I will add it to the COW shortly.
