SL&SF GP-9?

Excuse me for not having added a gallery yet but health still remains a problem. But health does not keep me from eBay and it was there I bought what the seller knew nothing about, a 70s vintage I would guess Lionel HO GP-9 marked as a Frisco unit. With all time I have had in bed have almost memorized this beautiful website and other places it leads to. I figured even if I did't think the Frisco ever had GP-9s would be simple enough to backdate to a GP-7. Well about backdating am almost wrong because shell of unit is thick toy metal like we used to have, but the unit is beautiful and spotless a if brand new, even if in the Orange and White colors and a questionable number of 5515. Would think that alone would be reserved for a later different model. Unit is unfortunately equipped with everything on top of roof that Athearn mounts includng the Dynamic Brakes.

Should not take very many of you very long to tell me I bought this made in Canada unit for nothing but that is why I wrote. It is very clean however and maybe with a better number can find a use. I was shocked at it being so very super cherry.

Best wishes to all who attend the Conference, last four years just haven't been mine healthwise.
