    Depends which MAV. The M62 diesel is Roco. The Electrics are Acme and Roco

    Ah, ok. I had seen a post where you mentioned one was Acme. Roco is affordable compared to Acme. I'll be curious to hear if you think I got a fair deal on my JS Rc.

    I say you got the Rc at a very good price. Roco don't usually come that cheap. Depends how many bidders and how determined they are though.

    Good to know. If it was something more common on american ebay I'd have a real sense of the value, but a foreign loco that is most definitely targeted at the north of europe, hard to tell.

    Those little steamers are great! And for the price you really can't beat it. Everytime I go by my LHC I stop to oggle those and consider getting one to run on the No Name and No Real Locality Railway. :)

    Good score Shortround!

    At $62 I think it's a steal. I can't wait to get some more track to try it out. Here's it with the rest of my current roster.

    UPDATE: I've discovered it's closer to one of CN's fleet of exBNSF/ATSF C40-8W rather than a C44-9W, so that's what I'm going to turn it into.

    Is there much work to do on it to make the change?

    I'm confused. Dash 8s and Dash 9s are fairly different looking. Different trucks and Radiators and the Kato is absolutely a dash 9. Do you just mean you're going to detail it as if it were a dash 8? Or are you performing surgery?

    My latest purchase. This is the Gold Series with QSI Sound. It is pretty neat. I guess I'm back on the hobby in a big way! So the wife thinks!:teeth:

    This is a Red Caboose SP 53'6" flat car, pretty common on the SP in the 50's thru mid-80's, mostly in lumber service.
