Thanks for sharing this! I just reached out to Hobby-Sports and they told me everything they had from them has been sold. I only wish I had known about the sale sooner...oh well, I guess it was not meant to be. Appears they only advertised the Train Barn engine and rolling stock sale on their Facebook page. Also, looked like most of the good stuff (like the GTW 1776 unit) had been sold off long ago.
Hard to believe it has been close to 10 years since it was closed.

The GTW 1776 was a repainted LIONEL GP20 diesel loco, not a true GP38-2 diesel model, like what MTH released in the past year.

It was running on the layout in the Township Hall building at the Vicksburg Historical Society, when they set up a layout in 2019.

Here is my video of the 1776 GP20 on that track layout in 2019.
