Lucked out today

I missed out on a Williams t1 I found at a local hobby shop. As luck would have it I was wandering through the Greenberg train show this morning when I came across this Williams t1. It is sort of an ugly paint scheme (nothing a repay can't fix) and it does have a bit of damage on the front shroud (it's cracked right before the front cylinder). But I got it even cheaper (much cheaper) than the one for $375 at the shop and this one from the looks of it was never run.....until earlier today

Those convert to DCS or ERR very nicely. I always liked that paint job.

The paint job looks like it was for a Hershey's candy train...

These were available directly from Williams in 1993.

You could get the basic unpainted version for $595.00. That included the engine wired for forward direction only and a set of decals. Painted versions were another $150.00 (Silver, Brunswick Green, Tuscan/Silver or Brunswick Green/Silver.

The electronic reverse was a $75.00 option and True-Sounds was a $175.00 option.
