Being in Canada, my cost after shipping would be $270 US (well over $300 Cdn) plus any duties customs might throw on. :(

Ok, Rapido then.:cool: They have a great SW9 and the 44 ton center cab is in production. You could probably find one of their SW1200 on the used market also.

Like others have said , I am a steam guy also but model to the mid ‘50s which allows for Gp7/9’s and Rs3’s or earlier. I have 24” minimum on the main line and 18” min on the secondaries but really like the smaller steams and diesel electrics. They are the work horses. Me personally, I will run a train with the big boy or challenger on the main and then use the smaller locos to run ops, sometimes in the opposite direction. With a single main on half my layout and double on the other half, the moons must be aligned to pull it off correctly. I stay away from 10 wheeled cluster steams or 6 wheeled diesels. Just too many problems on my layout.
