<p><font size="2">Hi there...I'm at my WINTER home, now, in California, so don't have access to any railroad mags other than the last couple years, sent to me, here....in Canada, I've got a TON of them, going back to the PRE-COLOR days, even to the fifties, when I thought my Lionel train set was hot stuff. (With the "cattle loader" accessory, jiggling little plastic cows through a maze and into a stock car, then right back out again. I guess it never dawned on anyone, that it didn't make much OPERATING sense, to do that. But it was a pretty cool effect, back in those days when movie monsters included "dinosaurs" being guys dressed up in a slightly torn TYRANNOSAURUS REX latex suit, making growling noises.)</font></p><p> </p><p><font size="2">Anyway, I can't check on any of those old AHC ads, til next April...meantime, I'll do some Googling, to see if somewhere on the net, I can find a GP20 pictured. But the SD35 someone kindly posted earlier, sure looks like what I remember. And now, of course, I'll also be playing INTERNET DETECTIVE to FIND one of those--hopefully with the "virtually indestructable grab irons made of nylon" still intact, as the Atlas ad states. I suspect I'll have to pay a lot more than $25 for it, if it still RUNS.<br /> </font></p><p> </p><p> </p>
