Here's my LOTW offering:
Thanks to Chops' generosity in sending me a functioning AHM Reading RR GP9 locomotive a little bit ago, finding for-parts dummies on Ebay, and some Liquid Cement, I was able to restore that GP9!! It now sports a better shell with both horns and bell, front coupler replaced, and rear railing re-applied. I cannot wait to get it hauling freight on the Ephrata Valley Railroad.

Rifling past the Armadilloville Nuclear Power Plant, this Varney, a gift from WKS, brings a new
level of transportation to the city. I'm thinking that front grill resembles a 1950's Studebaker.

Hey Bus he last two common FA1's made were Walters and Model Power. The Walters a newer ROCO type and the MP a made in Brazil, Franchai. I know I got the company name spelled wrong. You should show the bottom of the FA. unless you know already who made it.

Great piece, but if not a locomotive, then what is its classification?
You and Mike need to get together on this!

No worries at all; it is a lovely companion piece to Mike's F unit, and
Mike frequently posts the most remarkable and unique pieces, this
last one being no exception. Great piece, thank you for posting.
