Seems another way to spend money has raised its head. Wanting a RAILCO engine to switch one of the larger cement plants, we missed the earlier runs of similarly painted units. Would have missed this too as funding was a tad short, but then the seller sent a 10% off coupon with their email and they still had one DCC/Sound version in stock this morning. Who am I to argue with fate?
Well anyways, the engine is in the shipping box and allegedly in transit to our location. It's a tad bright, but that will be remedied before it is pressed into service. I figure the cement plant just got tired of paying the fees to Arizona Southern for switching out their location, and this unit offers a cost savings in the long run. It's nice to save when one can. It is still circa 1976ish on the layout, so a HH660 is still a viable option for day to day operations; not to mention I have yet to have a model of one of these and as an Alco lover, well that needed being remedied. Enjoy Your Trains!
Good night, and God bless,
John Huey
CEO Arizona Southern RR
