Gary..... Although I'm always on a tight budget.... I can't help but dream about my next clockwork wonder(*haha!)
This Dorfan Boxcab loco would certainly fall under a "wishbook" train for my cityscape elevated layout.
Do you know of any available somewhere?... 
BTW..... What's the difference between the two Dorfans?? (The type of coupler on the one end as in your photo?)
funny how things go... i was looking for both the EE #7 and the Dorfan #145 for probably more than a decade. i passed on more than a couple #7's due to both condition and price, then in less than a month i picked up both locomotives including the pair (in separate auctions) of the Dorfan engines.
yes, it is merely the different coupler genders that distinguish the two Dorfan models, but enough of a variation that i'm going to keep both. i've seen three other pictures of this engine, two with a slot connector and one other with a tab, but at this point i'm still not sure if there is a 50-50 mix of the two types or if one is less common.
the Greenberg (McKenny) book indicates there is a red livery #145 (though i'm not 100% convinced it isn't merely a very dark orange), so there might still be something to look for.
fun stuff!...gary
