Thanks for watching my back!

Here is this from greenbergs guide...
8213 Rio grande: 1982-83, 2-4-2 Columbia (type); Die cast metal body; smoke; headlight; type II ac-dc can motor; electronic reversing unit. 1130 type tender with mechanical sound of steam. Part of 6-1252 Heavy Iron Set.
Did it the same time as you
Kurt, you got it right (your French must be better than you think!). The 8213 also included a headlight and an electronic reversing unit. The 1130-type tender included mechanical Sound of Steam.
The loco was part of the 1252 Heavy Iron set (also '82-'83), along with a 9031 NP gondola, a 9339 GN boxcar, a 9020 UP flatcar, and a 9077 Rio Grande SP-type caboose.
I found a few thru searches...
D&RGW 2-4-2 '82-'83? This one was in Canada, the french part, so I couldn't translate. My French is rather rusty.
I came upon a Lionel engine and have tried to identify it with no success.
Heavy (die cast) 2-4-2 Black with white stripe. Smoke unit. Embossed (not painted) #8213
Appreciate all assistance. As always, many thanks.
