Ken,
All of those are pristine looking. The AHM is much nicer than mine. I don't think the GP short handrails are original, looks like someone did their best, they shouldn't slope. The SOO Alco looks minty. Bet it runs great. There are handrails to be had for the SOO.

"...made in austria,and has a roco motor,..."
Austria + Roco = motor, last forever... You won't be disapointed.
The GP-2O... hey, slanted railings for slanted nose, eh?
And that Soo... whoooooT!
$10 for one of those would be something to treasure! $10 for all three and then some? Priceless!
Nice woman you have.
Luckeeeee!

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
