I was just our local train store and noticed that they have a PFM Frisco Russian for sale - $100 marked on the box. If interested, call them - (573) 873-2795 It is a family run brick & Mortar store - https://www.facebook.com/familytraincenter/ I did not open the box.
I’d consider that. Don Wirth or others: your take on these? I wouldn’t mind having another Bolshevik to go with my Spectrum if someone hasn’t already snatched this up. “Spasibo,” Bob.
It should be noted that the PFM locomotive and the Spectrum locomotive use “different tenders”. The PFM tender has a higher profile through the fuel bunker than does the Spectrum model.
