A Lionel, marketed as an E 33, but I think the trucks are wrong. Fascinating how
this design went through so many decades and so many flags until finally
scrapped.

I think that Lionel body was designed to snap onto an Athearn GP7 chassis. Not exactly accurate, but easy to tool up for.
Carpe Manana!

My LOTW will be the $20 special I got on 'the site'. Here's my new Tyco Amtrak GG1. I had to put it back together and glue a coupler back because the BLARXes at USPS kicked the ever-living BLARX out of my package. I got it back in good order again, and I'm pretty happy with this old unit. I used to dream of having one Tyco Six Axle. Now I have seven!

| Put the E33 on a set of vampires, that would look accurate!

| Ironically, #4601 will not be scrapped. Not sure of its current disposition but it is supposed to be cosmetically restored.

Fabulous piece, Catford. I had to look it up, and am still not clear, is Illinois
Central Gulf same as Illinois Central?

My LOTW is a Rivarossi Indiana Harbor 0-8-0 in AT&SF livery made (according to the paperwork mine came with) in 1983. I got it at the last train show I went to along with the Rivarossi 2-8-8-2 I posted a little while ago. Even though there was a ridiculous amount of dried up old grease inside of the locomotive, it ran like a champ when I first put it on the track. (I eventually cleaned off most of the dried up grease and gave it some fresh lubrication after initial testing)

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

Nice! I want one of those 0-8-0's!
The ICG has always confused me, because, well, Illinois isn't part of the gulf!

the G is when IC merged with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad on August 10, 1972
that lasted until February 29, 1988
as of February 11, 1998 IC is now part of CN
that Conrail 4601 still exists at Illinois Railway Museum!
its in Virginian now

Lotta locos this week!  Love 'em all.
My LOTW offering is this Fleischmann N-Scale Class 120 electric locomotive, in the RARE beige&red DB scheme!! Got it for $50 bucks, a third of the original price on this locomotive. 
Even though it appeared basically mint, upon testing it on the Alpine Railway, it didn't move or light up at all. I popped off the shell and after an hour or so of diagnosis, I've determined it to be a contact issue with the "rooftop" contact piece not fully making contact between 2 strips on the board which rests atop the motor assembly. Need more spare time to work on it...
