QUOTE: Originally posted by walter42646 I bought two undecorated Aristo SD-45's on eBay for way less than half retail. Both are new, in the box, bought from the same dealer. Both run great. Also--spend $200 at Wholesale Trains, join the club (free), and get an average 9 % discount on purchases. Happy railroading Walter
QUOTE: Originally posted by Capt Carrales I am also fo the school that locomotives should be "first hand," or from a reliable second hand. This insures that any problems I buy are my own. [2c]
