Here is A couple nice locomotive's that I put out some bucks for and a few that didn't set me too far back but I just got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. These are two Rivorossi E8 s one was a B&O that I swapped shells with A C&O DUMMY.Both nice heavy runners.Rivarossi built a nice locomotive. This uboat I got cheap ,a strong runner that will pull 15cars,dont have the heart to repaint to chessie colors so for now I'll leave it as a burlington.Another u25 b rivorossi that I saw sitting by its lonesome on a table for 13 bucks so I brought it home to my pike.A good heavy runner that runs well at low speeds but will still pull a cut of cars.A Kato GP 9 in C&O livery .This one set me back a few bucks or atleast more than Id spend for one in the past.but a very quiet smooth drive.And last but not least A older tyco mantua Its not like anything Ive' seen out here either on this site or any were else.Looks like somebody did a custom paint job on a gp but its a metal shell not plastic.If somebody can ID it Id really appreciate it.Gotta be a red box item but runs really well for its age
