This was another model my dad had in the late 70s, but I have very little memory of it. Mostly I just remember seeing it loose in a large box of mixed items, and I don’t recall ever seeing it run. However, it stuck out in my mind because of its unique shape and color scheme. It was the only c-liner I knew at the time, and it was probably my first exposure to the Pennsylvania Railroad’s “Tuscan Red” color scheme with the five yellow stripes.
While browsing some used HO scale models at the 2017 Great Train Show, I found one of these in good condition for only $10.00. I bought it as yet another locomotive to practice weathering on, and I originally planned to replace the couplers with Kadee knuckle couplers, but later decided the cheap model wasn’t with that effort. I’m just going to list it on eBay after weathering, anyhow.
