It's a very impressive model, especially if it comes already weathered as the illustration suggests. It's also kind of an odd choice considering...
Should keep you busy for a while. GS
Sow's ear turned into a silk purse. GS
Okay, here's the thing. If you have the kind of layout where you are able to host regular op sessions, you do not need (and should not want)...
$42.95 for a boxcar? GS

Too late to be of any help for the February presentation, but this item turned up in the Classic Trans weekly newsletter. GS...
I used the auto reverser (three of 'em) with the NCE system. It works fine. GS
