I'm sure you can find yourself one, I think it would look great on your layout.That's going to be a stunner!
Glad you were able to snag one! I'm a little jealous.
Check this out, got a pick of like painted box car few weeks ago in Hartford, CT;Stopped by the LHS on the way home from work to see if the $4.00 plastic had come in so I could finish my retaining wall. It hadn't come in so I got this $30 dollar boxcar. I can't let this become a pattern or they'll never tell me my plastic has arrived

I am not tempting you
That's a nice looking loco, I've a similar (older) Athearn version which when I put the headlight on, looked like Rudolph the Reindeer, a quick body and glazing removal with a complete body interior respray of Aluminium acrylic paint solved that problem.I just picked this up last week. My 1st BLI Loco. Its a nice model, I've been on the lookout for a quality gp35 for a while. Finally pulled the trigger. It's super smooth and sounds great!
I really like these keep alive capacitor's that manufacturer's are putting in these newer locos.
Great idea!

That is what I was going to say, the King of the Electrics. One ended up on the UP as part of their coal turbine experiment.I made a bid for an H0 gauge brass W1 electric locomotive.
...To my knowledge the real W1s were the largest single unit electric locomotives ever built and only two were ever built.
Unfortunatelly UP didn't save that one, and no electric locomotives from Great Northern have been saved.That is what I was going to say, the King of the Electrics. One ended up on the UP as part of their coal turbine experiment.
