I do not know much about model railroading. I have recently come into possession of a GP20 that I think may be valuable. In doing some research, I have found that companies that make train products may run 1000 or 5000, or whatever amount of a certain model. I don't know if the first train that comes off the assembly line is more valuable then the last. This loco was before the first loco came out of the factory. It is a loco that was sent to the research and development department of a major train maker, and is in the original package it was received in. (nothing fancy about the package). This item also bears the marking "Approved" in writing, and the date it was approved in writing on the side of the packaging. This loco has never been run on a track. I wanted to know if it was something special, or not even of any value since it was not included in the amount of locos made during this product run of whatever the amount of locos were made. If the later is the case, then I will take it out of the box and add it to my train set this christmas. If it is of some value I may want to have it incased in plastic. -LuckyFind
