Forward to today:

Once I learned all the differences I decided on the 8307 engine and went on to find a near mint 1983 set with 6 cars. They are supposed to be flawless. I will be running them on my layout, and it is amazing to be able to find "brand new" trains, 32 years later.

Thanks again for your help.

I know the feeling Rick, I just picked up all 8 SP Daylight aluminums from the 80's still in the boxes and never removed, along with the MPC N&W Powhatan Arrow Aluminum cars!!
