I think it was destined for operation in PA., or the Valley RR in Essex, CT.

It was New York Susquehanna & Western 141.  To replace the lost engine the line purchased the Valley Railroad engine.  And it was 1989... my how time flies...

Ron,

I think one instance might have been the Intermountain tunnel motors, I recall some good photoshops during that timeframe.

I made one with a tunnel motor as the Loch Ness Monster.

A former MR staffer/IMRC employee was informing us of the  SD40/45T-2 model and the the preputial release date. I quipped that the tunnel motor was mystical thing, like true love, the Lochness Monster.  In response Denver Road Doug posted the photo.  For the record the IMRC shell needs a lot of rework but I am grateful it was made.

I got mine from Hobbysmith in Portland, OR.  I have seen them at Tacoma Trains as well.

Tom

wonder if the guys at the train show didn't want to send all that stuff back to the home office.

What a difference a week makes,  saw 3 at the hobby shop this afternoon.  Waiting for PRR, my budget is shot to pieces after the K4s.

In fact, I remember someone who photoshopped a Bagdad Bob, assuring everyone that the Tunnel Motors are here.  You are surrounded by them.

Funny, the BLW website still doesn't show these in stock - still taking reservations.

Peteski, I got a promotional e-mail from BLW over the weekend, saying they were due in Tuesday, 9/29.
 Guess they came in a day early. Yes, I know his site does not list as in stock. I'm thinking mine will show Wednesday?? ;)

Got my ship confirm from BLW yesterday. USPS tracking shows picked up today, now in Kearny, NJ. Thursday delivery. Most likely in mail box later today. Ha.

Would the proto PC units have signal boxes?

Maybe? It depends on where they were being used. I'd rely on photos to be sure.
