The life of a train nut. I sold off an identical packaged set of this same item in CN, and got a
lousy 10 clams for it. Like new condition and ran most sweetly. So, while I'm posting my
feeBay ad, I see this NOS in CP. By crimminies, I swore a blue streak that I would not
buy any more North American stuff, Tyco or otherwise, unless it was a one in a million.
So I put it out of my mind, but could not forget. Gave the seller a low ball offer that he
threw back in my face. Waited a bit, and sure enough he lowered it down another 15%
and I just couldn't say no. Sell one, buy another. I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like
it.
The only reason I thinned out my nice CN F9 was because it was kind of redundant. It wasn't
a great hauler, and I had a much stronger Model Power unit in CN and a bunch of CN cabooses.
I enjoyed some awesome years as a Canadian, and anything with a "wet noodle" or a "Pacman"
grabs my heart strings. Speaking of which, where you at Canada Mike? We need another
Mike Strike 'round here.

My SOTW will be the set of Santa Fe passenger coaches that I recieved from RP in a trade.
