Hey Nelson:
It could be. Hasn't arrived yet. According to Canada Post it is on the truck out for delivery.
I got a great deal on this. It had no bids on an auction a couple months back on ebay, and I emailed the guys at "danstraindepot" (ebay ID) during and asked if it didn't sell whether they wouldd consider selling it to me when the auction ended direct from their shop in Ocala, Fla. They said get back to us. Well it didn't and I did and they agreed to let me have it for $349.99 + S&H (In two payments!) which I was delighted with.... that same engine is on consignment at a local model train shop for $500+ Taxes which in Ontario would be about $70! so all in all I'm pretty happy. That will be my 4th piece of brass which is about the only way to get Canadian Steam era loco's.... I'll be looking for a few more. I think fewer, rarer is nice.
