This is my mint never removed from box NW class J 611 in commerative box. This was a gift from my parents in 1984---the year the locomotive was enshrined as a National Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The Ceremonies for this was held on May 19,1984. One engineer opened the throttle up on a straight stretch reaching 110 MPH with this loco. These retailed for $100.00 new in 1984. Mine still has the original sticker on end flap of $79.95
