Bachmann U36C, I think, but pretty sure it's not an F unit. My lack of train spotting abilities are legendary.
I've had this gal for some time now, the PT motor is holding up and she absorbs the 18 inch curves
without too much complaint. Not a great hauler, but she works, and for that we can be thankful.

I lived in Canada until '69. Happy Canadian memories. Went back there in '91, everything had
been paved over. Nothing stays the same.

That would be a mehano/IHC ALCO C628, not a bachmann u36c, and it doesnt have a Powertorque motor.

I'll be the runner - up who'll correct you when you get the locos mixed up.

My LOTW will have to hold off until later this week.

I went bananas for some TH&B box cars after Mike posted some, a
while back. I grew up in Canada. A lot of happy Canadian memories.
And yes, it was cold as the 9th circle of Hell, but as kids, we didn't know
any better. Just pull on your underalls and grab a toboggan. Mike has the coolest Canadian collection I've seen. Spring was a time of robins and
crocuses, summer a sweet dream, autumn a glorious bittersweet rain
of crimson leaves. Winter, was, uh, winter.
