Hey! How about buying an F40 PH on Ebay? Not a Bachmann, but a real EMD!

Antonio where would you park it? I wonder what the insurance would be on something like that as well? TB

Wow, exactly what I need to get downtown, who needs that public transit crap, and I have a choice of tracks, C.P.R. or Calgary Transit C-Train. Just what is the price of diesel fuel today???

EBay Item Number: 4518838601

I just had to post this!

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I see countless numbers of model locomotives up for bid on Ebay, but this!! [:0][:p] Good Goobly!Guess it's true when they say that you could buy ANYTHNG on Ebay. Including a 16 cylinder Amtrak F40.

She's number 389. Even has the strobe lights on the roof just like the Spectrum units! Good photos are provided.

Current Bid: $15,000 (the price of a new Corolla)
"Buy it now, Price: $55,000 ( price of a loaded Cadilllac Escalade)

Estimated cost to restore to running condition: $25,000 which is not bad considering the hard beating these units took. A friend of mine who still works for Amtrak told me that F40s on the east coast would travel thousands of miles beyond the point when they needed an oil change. Seems like any EMD in the 40 class was well built.

Hope you guys check it out![;)]
