This one is difficult for me, I am getting at least one but debating two. Fond memories abound of my grandfather telling the story of when these came to SP via the Port of Houston and he worked Englewood Yard at the time for SP (as he had for 30+ years).

I am tempted to get 2 as I know this is probably a once in a lifetime chance here. Will be 2 Rail as that's where my direction is leaning. The price though is pretty high though.

However I am thrilled Scott Mann is releasing these.

Plus I think Lee needs one, fits in with his oddity collection for sure.

I am choking on the price too, but since I am moving to 2 Rail mine will be DCC.

The price is high but Scott Broke it down because everything on this locomotive is unique. There is NO other locomotive that holds sentimental value for me besides the KM which is why I feel okay going with the price.
