My LOTW will be a double-dipper. My first unit will be my Tyco Union Pacific F-9 as it idles in a Union Pacific locomotive yard with a GP20. In the background Big Boy 4012 and an SD24 sit parked and ready for service.
My second LOTW will be my Tyco Rivarossi Drive C630, Mint in Package. I don't intend to take it out of the package, as I can't imagine there are too overly many of these left sealed in package.

I don't think so Chops. It still has the original plastic on it. It's just too perfect to ruin.

Darn that 630 is a beaut
You should find one you can actually run though, as those rivarossi drives will last 5x longer than the powertorques!

Agreed, and I can't wait to find out, because shortly after Aaron found his on Ebay, another ICG C630 was listed, with box, and I snagged it. I'm eagerly waiting for it to arrive in the mail......
My LOTW offering is this nice Tyco Golden Eagle C630. This fine addition to my collection, along with the Golden Eagle caboose, was due to a recent trade deal with Aaron. So happy to finally have one of these.

You got that from the same seller as mine. Based on the fact that I'm going more for a display, I intend to keep mine intact for now. The seller seemed to have bought out a Sears or something, as they had another one yet.
The golden eagle looks to be in a much better home now, as it wasn't getting the run time it deserves. I hope the gleaming old unit runs just as good for you as it did for me.
Last I checked my Northern and U boat were still in like Indianspolis, but that was a day or two ago. At Christmas this year the postal system burst into flames more or less. Up here it seems the USPS has been playing 'Gee, how many days does it take a package to go from Minneapolis to St. Paul.' I swear I had one that spent like three or for days in the twin cities.
I got a cabooses line up for the both of them though, so I'm excited.

Precision Engineered Model Company, PEMCO, a group made up of disaffected Tyco model
makers. This has a PT motor, but after many hours of heavy use, it is holding up perfectly.
I have no past affiliation with the L&N, but greatly value this model.

Yep, the Golden Eagle C630 runs great - it will be in a video soon.
Yeah, I still am waiting for packages to arrive from at least a week or 2 ago, that were sent Priority Mail. :( I'm also still waiting for some N-Scale German train cars, from Germany, that were shipped out in October.

Hope you're prepared to wait for those German cars! I had to special order a part for my Mercedes car project from Germany and it took 8 WEEKS to arrive!
