Managed to get one of these not long ago, and although I spent more than I wanted to get it, I have no regrets!

It's really an interesting piece of history, and considering it was first made in 1952, this might just be the first motorized plastic model of an American diesel in HO scale! As far as I can find, the Globe F7, Varney plastic models and others came at least a year or two later. If anyone knows of a motorized plastic model older than this one though, let me know!
