Oh, Boy! The new Lionel 2005 Classic Train Catalog Volume 2 is online!
And look! there on the cover! The C&O Allegheny! My favorite engine of all time! One of the biggest, most powerful reciprocating steam locomotives ever built! I actually saw one of the only two still in existence back in 1996 when Mary Lynn and I were in D.C. and visited the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore. We have a photo of me hanging from the grab iron on the rear of the tender!
This one is a special Joshua Lionel Cohen commemorative issue with full TCC, sounds, and computerized speed control - along with a host of other features. Which I guess one would expect on a model retailing for $1700! Ackk! Oh, well; Chistmas is coming. Every year, thank goodness. ;-)
Someday... It will be mine...
Someday.....
(sigh)
