"Tyco 2.0." A Life Like GP 38 from GMoney a few years back, during my Conrail phase. Last of the great paint schemes, JMOP. Otherwise known as the "Can Opener." While retaining the classic Tyco chunky style, it has a far superior mechanism to the lousy PT motor, that probably helped drive them out of business. Walther's Train Line now makes this, I tink, and it too is a superior product with the classic Tyco simplicity.

Nice to see this one again! Does it still run, or is it time for a capital rebuild?

Heavens to Betsy, she works as good as the day I got her. About 7 minutes into this epic, she is hauling a long, long rack of auto carriers up and down grades without so much as a sniffle.

I’m glad I was able to help Honest Sam with his hoopties!

HEY CHOPS {{{{
I know Conrail was short on cash, but that jeep must have been out in a dust storm. Seed it to the loco wash rack, or just hose it down. frank.
