Thanks for the heads up! It's nice how this one is a true auction and not some crazy high Buy It Now price only, as has been the case in the past with these locomotives.

Don't blame me Tractor - I did not utter a word as per your instructions to me at Frontier Village a few weeks ago! Someone else spilled the beans on camera! :lol: I am not happy that th...

Changing the name of the GT & C RR is an absolutely perfect example of a total no-no for us engineers - a solution to a problem that does not exist. To think that people actually get paid to think up this stuff! :roll: They can change the name all that they want on the website in my book though....
