Hey Romcat,
See? I told you those were some sweet running locos! No need to replace the mechanism. Glad the average ebay price has come WAYYYYY down! Nice loco for $25-30 each!
So when do I get to test out my UP Alco?

Hey Adams,
Do you notice the slightly different blue & red stripe application on your two cabooses?
Congrats on all entries!
Also, I am a fan of Atlas Roco Loco's!

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

| Zebrails, Yes, the red and blue are reversed, not sure which one, if any is more rare. I also have the 4 old-time Bicentennial coaches that go with the loco which makes a neat train.

Well actually they the Politically Correct now call it "Canada Day" but for the first 100+ Years it was called "Dominion day" Since in our constitution it refers to "... the Dominion of Canada."
And it was July 1st.

Nice 430 Brian, Have to dig mine out...

The Presidential Seal, what a neat piece of Model Train and Tyco history. I hope I land one some day. Good choice Brian and appropriate.!
BTW: Thanks Romcat for the history lesson in the LotW post about Canada Day being July 1st. I was curious. As I kid My family went to Ontario Provence on vacations for about 7 years. We traveled over the 4th of July because it saved my Dad a vacation day since everyone got the 4th off anyhow. I knew there was a corresponding celebration but could not remember the correct title.
I hope the celebration was swell! Our Canadian brothers and sisters are great also!
