I just saw that Joe Minor has an SD45 and SD40-2 |-| for sale and they already have decoders in them. His listing is on HOYARDSALE is as follows: "I have two Athearn RTR Frisco locomotives for sale. One is a SD40-2 #955 and the other is a SD45 #911. The SD40-2 has a TCS A6X with a working rotary beacon and the SD45 has just a basic 2 function decoder. I am asking $80 dollars for the SD45 and $90 for the SD40-2. We can also set up a deal if you would like to buy them as a set." Joining HOYARDSALE is easy and FREE. Just Google HOYARDSALE and fill out the form. It only takes a few mins. If you missed out, here is your chance to get two very reasonably priced units that are ready to go.
Joe Minor - Different spelling, but it sounds like somebody we knew at Rolla, eh Doug? Ken FYI - "Joe Miner" is the longtime bearded, slide-rule & pick axe toting mascot of MSM/UMR/MoS&T.
I already E-mailed him about the SD45. I already have two SD40-2s (both blue-box models), so I wasn't interested in the other model he had. If (IF!) I'm able to score this, I'll have a total of three Frisco '45s in my HO fleet. Just two more to go...............
