I caved in and ordered one. They are on b/o until end of March but oh well...
I have no idea how much it's gonna be but it's a LEGO train, and with slight
colour modifications, will fit in with the rest of my engines :)
Of course, my engines are mostly modelled after CN and CP--they are North
American--so this one should fit right in.
There you are.
At least I'll have a train part that Calum doesn't have ;)
Stay safe
