You could say "the Pennsylvania, Grand Trunk, The Presidential, the Canadian, or the Queensland Rail C430's range from rare to difficult to acquire. I have them all; in fact and with the exception of the QR, I'm pretty sure I have two of each. Personally, the GN was the hardest one for me to acquire, I had to actively scour ebay for years before I found one. I was looking on ebay two or three time a day waiting for one to appear. So this is why I consider it one of the "Holy Grail" of TYCO trains. When I originally seen one on ebay, I passed on the auction because my family and I was leaving for a cruise that day. I eventually found one, but it wasn't like the one from the auction I passed on. I won the one with the goat herald on it. Fast forward many, many, many years I finally acquired the variant of the one I let get away!!! I have found my white whale!!!!

Congratulations! I didn't know there were 2 different variants.

There are actually two versions of this streamline also. I will try to find both of the ones I have.

well this scheme only lasted 3-4 years until the 1970 mega merger of Burlington Northern!
so this is the shortest scheme in GN's history
