They just recently started to stock it in the south! Used to only be able to get it when we would go back to PA. Definitely a nice surprise to see it here! Have Merry Christmas!
I managed to find one of these at York last October! As someone who lives about half an hour or so out of Savannah, this is something I was wanting to find or make for myself. It had never been run, pickup rollers had no visible wear, and its odometer was at 0.0 scale miles. I had plans to repaint a newer diesel that I bought to repaint to this scheme but had not gotten around to doing it yet. Glad I (unintentionally) held off on the project.
That’s awesome! Definitely nice to score something that’s never been ran before. That would be a fun repaint project haha definitely glad I have one and didn’t have to do that. I’ve done a few and repaints can get out of hand quickly
I’ve never seen another one available. It’s definitely a pretty unique paint scheme not sure how many people were interested in it when it was made. May not be that many of them! Who knows haha
Too bad they didn't include the loudspeakers mounted on the real one that piped out music from an 8-track player in the cab. Even cooler had they had set it up to play music just like the real one.
My favorite beer!

Cool looking engine. Smaller can be better.
It’s definitely a fun little engine. I don’t run it much but i probably should. I can pop some kadees on it pretty easy and run it around more.
I've been trying to find one for a few years.

@TJsModelTrains I do like the paint scheme and the history behind the train. Thank you for sharing.
@@JuanMartinezColonno problem! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a wonderful Christmas season!

I wondered what that PA speaker was for! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure I could find a 3D printed PA speaker for the model haha.
