Yup. Got one of those B&M bodies a fellow New Englander put on a Wabash mechanism. I wanted to use it as a stand-in until I found the CN version. I don't know much about the original run, but I began to be suspicious when I saw the rarity of these locos showing up. Too bad: they really are the best answer to mainline steam for a small layout. In my dreams Lionel will offer them again in an affordable, reliable conventional version with great sound . . .
