Yesterday was a milestone in my life...as my Mom and I visited Harrisburg to attend my school's Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2019. In short, I graduated from High School!!! 
However, before we left to begin the drive, I placed my max (low) bid on a particular Tyco locomotive that wasn't ending until 3:54pm to be exact, and that already had 1 bid from someone a day earlier. I clearly didn't expect to win, but when I returned home from Graduation, I realized that I won the hard-to-find Tyco Yellow-Bonnet Santa Fe ALCO C430, for just $18, shipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shell is not "perfect" cosmetically, but the seller said it still worked and for such a price, I am beyond blessed to have even gotten such a locomotive. Can't wait to add this unique piece of Tyco history to RETRO TYCO.
