My pick's of the week.....
The NJ Transit F40PH's are the earlier Bachmann Spectrum Hong Kong version with the flashing strobe lights on top of the Cab. All of these have issues with the decals on one side.

| Hi Ken, Hope all is well with you and the family over there--Nice loco--I'm assuming brass. It's amazing how well brass can run, even without flywheels. On the way I have a Mantua Pacific, but this has their old "Power Drive" system, which has an enclosed worm/gear case instead of the worm on the end of the motor shaft. I'm curious to see how much better it performs than the other Mantuas. Chris

microbusss- These are the Bachmann Hong Kong version. About 95% of those that I have seen, the decals are peeling on the side that was in contact with the foam bottom.
