PS...fun thing about HO... tracks and controllers are plentiful... so are most cars... modelling skills are a must as many need to be made prototypical...unlike O scale..where if you get it with a factory finish ..you really don't want to mess with it as it will devalue whatever it is ;)

Just to let you know Jake...that engine style in HO ...being made in pot metal... would probably be going for about 30 to 60 dollars US bid point ... so it might go higher here... if you get it for less...you scored brother :thumbup:
