Tom, that Baldwin shell is a V-Line product and was quite good when released years ago. However the MP chassis isn't very good. The shell could be made to fit an Atlas RS-3. I put a V-Line Shark shell on an Atlas-Roco FA-1 and that was my best performer about 35 years ago.

Condition “new”. Well it looks a bit battered, the glass is missing and the paint looks like thick rattle can enamel which will not remove east for a new paint job. Oh and pizza will be sliced with this one.

 

Steve,
Thank You, I forgotten about the old V-Line Series of Locomotive Shells.

Bachmann did make a FM but a different model.

 

I'd forgotten, but you are right -- Model Power definitely imported the Minitrix line for a number of years.

 

Looks like the Seller works his eBay photography in the sauna.

Hides the Mint condition.

The quality of the paint job and decal application defies description:

 

He used epoxy paint!!!

 

Looks like it ran under an oil derrick that just struck oil !!!

 

A couple of buddies and I once painted an old school bus with a 5-gallon bucket of paint and some brooms. It looked just like that engine.

 

Hey! Look! It's the ASPHALT train....

 

You can probably get this one fairly cheap. But then there is the cost of paint stripper about $12 a can, paint about $5 dollars a bottle, decals at $5.25 and suddenly it is not cheap.

 

Clearly this is Not a BACHMANN N Scale Bachmann Lehigh Valley AC-420 Diesel Locomotive 7515 C14836 | eBay it is a MODEL POWER and made in YUGOSLAVIA. And then there's this one 7pc Dummy Southern Pacific 9725 N-Scale Train Set Tank Log Hopper Coal Canister | eBay I wouldn't even ask this $ , I would possible offer $10.00 for the lot as KITBASH FODDER.

boxcabE50,
IN the Second part yes you do. As for the first one since when did this Mehano (Yugoslavia) Alco C-420 become a BACHMANN, Have to Love people like this .. it seems that they're Too Lazy to flip the item over to see the manufacturer and state it correctly.
