This diecast shell is an interesting item. Aside from the FA, what other North American diesel locomotive bodies has Arnold done in metal? Unlike the eBay offering, my Arnold F has the lower portion of the front mounted to the truck and the number boards are different too. I'm just wondering what the story is here.

I don't recall an Arnold diecast shell. During those earlier years, there were aftermarket shell offerings, from various sources. Brass, Pewter and other metal materials. Some were improvements, some were rather crude.
Someone bid on it !!!! I'm betting there are used N scale shotgun shells and a half cooked squirrel inside that thing !!
$114.99<RARE Minitrix Amtrak N Scale 51 2010 00 Diesel Locomotive Train Engine Excellent | eBay, I would thought $30.00. description.. Item comes from an adult collection and was stored away for years. Locomotive is in like new condition as shown. Engine has not been tested and is being sold as is. Engine may have never been used. Looks to be new. With seeing this > Engine has not been tested and is being sold as is.< This is why I thought $30.00+ even if the seller states RARE.. Tom
I guess one of the trucks floated away... I mean, it is a helium tank car... (Note: While this is one of the pricier Atlas First Generation cars, it ain't THAT pricey...)
