Well, I'm not Tony but I do have one of these. It's a late Red Box Era GP-20. http://tycotrain.tripod.com/locomotives/id3.html It's listed in the Red Box site.

...Does that engine have the road number 5625 or 5628? In the pic it looks like a 5.

| From the pic is doesn't look too bad. It's got its handrails and looks to be in one piece. I payed $10 for mine and I think I got a fairly good deal. It runs fairly well but sometimes loses power on switches.

Thanks for posting, Ken. I was not aware of the Sanka hopper. I love it and gotta have one (not the one your bidding on). The CN geep is handsome too. Good luck. Hope you get it all

I have the list of roadnumbers somewhere for the CN GP20's. For some reason TYCO used a variety of numbers and not always the traditional 5628 for its CN GP20. Same goes for the CN F-9 models, they get a few different roadnumbers over the years.
The other roadname with similar roadnumber variety that comes to mind is TYCO's late Red Box and early Brown Box Penn Central diesels. The F-units have different numbers and the "PC" logo goes solid white to mixed red-and-white "PC" on various releases.

For the Sanka drinkers...
Here's a link to the TYCO Resource Freight Car Gallery page...
http://tycotrain.tripod.com/freightcars/id1.html
You'll find the Sanka Coffee Hopper on this page in the Freight Cars section...
http://tycotrain.tripod.com/freightcars/id22.html
Here's the group of original Hoppers with the Sanka model from the early '70s. The Maxwell House Coffee Hopper is the odd duck in the group...

| LOL cool: the numbers on Cheez' cab are almost an exact match for the style on the numberboards. First time I've ever seen that - nice touch!

On the Tyco Resource I see both the small numbers like on mine, and the larger numbers like on ken's.
BTW, what's up with the diff whistles?
