Check with Mario's Trains. I got two WBB BL-2's from Mario. He may have the C&O in stock or if not may know where to get one.
NCT, WBB advertises BL2 C&O shells with assorted numbers, and to call for availability.

No luck at WBB. They only have cab # 85.
Have you tried either Train World or Western Depot? They both have a lot of older Williams in stock.

Call Kevin Besser @
Besser's Whistlestop in
Baldwinsville, New York
He had some BL-2s at cut prices.
I sent a message to a friend who bought a Williams BL2, not C&O, last fall. He is not on OGR Forum, but I will let you know when he replies. I don't know if they have any C&O. His was an FEC.
Here is who my friend bought his BL-2 from:
J & R Trains (Joe & Rose Moretto) from Havertown PA. They may sell only Williams Trains and have always been along the front wall at the Monroeville Greenberg Train Show. They have a web site at www.jrtrains.com
I see they have BL-2 on their Web site, but not C&O. You may want to give them a call or e-mail, just in case.
If all else fails, look for unit 84. Very easy to add a 1 and 0 to make 1840.
Many thanks guys. I will check out all of the leads. I am still kicking my self in the butt for missing out on the one Gilly found on the Bay last year.

I have the Williams WM BL-2 for sure, but may also have the C&O stashed away. Will have to check a closet in my son's bedroom when he's not asleep to tell you for sure.

Many thanks David98.
Sorry, looked in all the more likely places, but no luck finding it so far. Only found the WM one.

There's one on eBay right now for "traincity" which I believe is Charles Siegel out of Florida in excellent + condition, ending in 3 days. Check it out and good luck.
