That's right baby, you can mark this off my list, I finally got my Great Northern C430!!!! I knew I was going to win it, because I was willing to pay $500 for it, but in the end it only cost me $122. The best part is it came in the original box; and with this, I have all C430's but if you include and variants I am still missing another G.N. and one spirit of 76.

Is that a TYCO or Lionel box behind it?

@ Sean, early version red box.
@BNSFIA I thought someone from here was bidding, we're you the one who was the high bidder for 5 days?

I placed a weak bid early like 6 or 7 bucks. A few days later I checked and it was at 76!
Was hoping it would go for like 40 or 50, but you'd have to get really lucky for that

Neato loco, also like that layout. Looks like a
Tyco rendering of Montana!
