Well, the front end of my new ( and probably last) Loco-motion.

Was actually ready to order a Millhouse River Studio 34" in Pennsy detail turntable.  But those $$$$ plus a multiple went for the DP.  Also precludes almost all O-gauge acquisitions for a while.

All because FORD was not going to support us with a new "true" Bronco. And the fact their 4.0L OHC engine self-destructs at around 110K/114K miles.  Mine was at 114K+ needing over $3K to fix.

The one engine wish MTH or Lionel would make in scale size.  Be a great companion to my M-1.

Lionel did indeed make a scale one of these. I saw one at a train show just a few weeks ago  with a $275 price tag. 

Yes, but Jim it is not command control and not a can-motor.  So an expense to up grade.

My mistake, it is semi-scale, however, it is TMCC.

Jim, forum members have had their scale Lionel Yellow Belly upper graded with a Timko can motor including Scott Smith.
