That wouldn't be the same hobby shop where I was the Saturday before New Year's and you weren't, would it. I saw that N&W engine too, and I won't be buying one either. SHABBONA dieselized in 1955. All that's left is a worn-out old 2-6-0 with a broken eccentric rod that is about to join that NYC engine of Ed L's. It earned it's retirement.
I won't be buying any SD-70's either. I can't afford the luxury, besides, I don't know if I could even run one! boB Nicholson _____________________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "raisinone" wrote: > > I had the chance to get up close and personal with a Y3 last weekend at my > favorite Chicago area hobby shop.
