A parts order from Lionel finally arrived today for an engine I purchased a month ago. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that I am the owner of the best O Scale diesel that ever came out. The Lionel GE Evolution Hybrid, I've been on the hunt for one of these for 10 years now and I finally have one to call my own. I saw this come up on eBay last month as an auction and to my surprise I won it. But it needed a bit of work, which I was 100% willing to do. Two stanchions were broken on either side (replaced with brand new ones), the grill on the rear radiator fell off (so I needed to get a whole new radiator section), and the chain on the rear truck was missing (I fixed that with a 5 dollar chain I found on eBay). Now she's in mint condition!
I am glad to finally own this model, it was well worth waiting 10 years and well worth the work to get it to mint condition! All functions work perfectly by the way.
