It is a special Zephyr that was presented by American Flyer to Ralph M. Budd, President of Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad.
i get a little sad when i see an exhibit like this. hopefully someone takes this model out occasionally to run it for a few laps. i have seen some cosmetically gorgeous models that barely budge under power after they had spent decades on display without any preventive maintenance.
I can tell you that as soon as it comes home, it will be on the layout. It ran well when I delivered it for the display.
