Features:
* Almost Ready-To-Run (Shell just needs to be attached)
* Directional Lights
* Illuminated Number Boards
* Interior Cab Details with Figures
* Add-on Parts are Included
*** Happily the new replacememnt wheel/gearsets are installed on this one!
Have a good one All Y'all!

Superb detail on your P2K, romcat. I especially like the yellow grab irons. Already posted my Canadian loco however, here is the next best thing: The "iconic" Montreal Limited. (See what I did there?)
These are Bachmann Digital Sharks although they look suspiciously E-R Modelly to me. Tyco also made a pair of D&H RF-16A's but why they were neither catalogued nor ever starred in a train set, I'll never know. Lest it be said, selachophobia is a terrible blight on humanity we must all overcome. Peace out.

The "Adirondack" Alco PA powered, was what made me fall in love with trains as a boy!!!
Just sold a couple of nib ER Sharks in D&H when I acquired some vintage Mantua Metal ones...

Well who wouldn't fall head over heels for an Alco PA? They are sublime.
Your recent experience with E-R sharks is opportune. Can you confirm the Bachmann versions are really the former E-R models? They look the same to me.

Hey TW:
Only "hint" I can provide is, that the ER's "featured" a removable underbelly "box" that allowed the addition of a weight. I thought the Bachmann was new tooling but it may have been "freshened" up!?
I liked the ER models myself but I'm changing my collecting stream. Vintage and an operational collection based on Canada, Eastern 1930 to 1967.
Most of my Vintage stuff; Metal will get Pennsy paint with special exceptions, like my Hobbytown Metal PA which will be done in the D&H WarBonnet, and an HT RS-3 being converted to an RS-3m also D&H. That will be my `omage to my first RR love the D&H

Thanks for the info romcat, I'll check out the sharks underbelly while dodging the pilot fish!
Your locos sound pretty cool in metal. For a small road, the D&H sure punches above its weight in the popularity stakes. Just proves some folk can recognize style when they see it!

Here's a Tyco BN GP20 that I just got today. It seems like it will run with cleaning. If not, here's my next repower project!

Ken,
I used to have a B&O PA just like yours that I paid 20 bucks for with my hard earned grass cutting money.
That was my first GOOD loco as previous motive power was Tyco,and Life Like.
I bought it when I was 12 years old,it met it's demise when I received bad grades in school and my Dad smashed it to bits as punishment.
I've been looking for one cheap,but have yet to find one. The search continues!

| I think a Mea Maxima Culpa is more like it I can not close my eyes right now... All i picture is a angry 40 year old man with a hammer and a crying 10 year old boy.

| So the irony of my day is that I bought two locos: the Tyco pictured above and an AHM. I bought the AHM assuming it would be a solid runner, and bought the Tyco assuming it would be my next repower project. Turns out I was backward! The Tyco runs fine...for now.

Totally awesome Durango Geep, microbusss! I don't know why Tyco came up with that roadname or its colour scheme but I'm happy they did. It would be great if fantasy railroads made a comeback real soon.

"Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean little green men aren't trying to castrate you with macheties!"
I'm picking on you... but isn't your signature line also a disturbing vision?
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
