Just Arrived a week ago. Run and looks excellent. I think it was used very little. I'm guessing it was only a redbox offering. If not redbox I would think redbox collectors would want these.

Nice,

Have Fun,

Martin

The only Proto loco I've owned had a defective motor.
When is yours from shayetz? It doesn't look like the new ones they're selling for $300 a pop.

I think they started P1K line around the late 90s/early 2000s.

I'm pretty sure the BL2 they made was their first production...

I thought that was in the late 80's, early 90's?

I like that Batmobile too, haha!

I knew I had this picture somewhere on the forum, I finally found it:



It's got a weird coat of spots around the edges...I don't know what could've done that, other than maybe intentionally dotting the surface with a small paint brush. Oh well, it's gonna stay as it is.

Oh, and Alco Fan, it's got the nicest running MU2 motor I've ever come across.

I have a bunch of old slot cars. Most need new tires and stuff. If there is interest I will post a pic of some.

I have a Red Box CP Rail F-unit with spots just like the ones on yours. I've always wondered what they were
