I purchased this engine at a blow out price I could not resist but now that I have it, it has become one of my favorite.  I thought they looked horrible in the Lionel catalog but in person,I really like the paint scheme and it has some of the better Lionel diesel sounds going.

 

Great engine and I appreciate the picture of the real loco in this paint scheme.

 

Happy railroading,

Don

Blowout price - Geez, I paid only 190.00 for this engine...A GIVE AWAY.
