VO 1000 Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 - COPPER RANGE Engine #200 Patrick's Trains Exclusive Only 30 Pieces to be produced!

Nice but the 1:1 pic shows a DS 4-4-1000 at best.

This is as close as your going to get in O Gauge with a factory run.  They have the VO-1000 tooling and are willing to run the engine.  I can live with the minor differences. (#200 was actually an S-12)

I'll be glad to have it as I'm sure many will.   Already placed my order!

Wow, that's the third loco in a row that Pat can have my money for!  I just ordered this one.

This is definitely going to be a fun piece to have.

Thanks, Guys

Happy Easter to all of you.

Best Regards

Pat

I remember watching these ancient beasts hauling cars across the Portage Canal Lift Bridge, from the CR yard in Houghton toward Ripley and Lake Linden, back around 1970!

It is a little out of my price range, but maybe I can find one on ebay in the future!!

With only 30 pieces your not likely to see them come up on ebay very often or at all.  You have some time before they get here... try to land one

Would $55 dollars do it?

A friend put this together for me.  Another car waiting for one of these MTH custom engines!

I just finished the markup on the artwork for this special run from Pat's Trains.  This one is really going to be nice!

Markups on these have been revised.  Really going to be a special piece.

Patrick continues to crush it with these special runs. Thank heavens, I am not interested in this one, as after York, my train fund has been exhausted for now.

@John23 and I got together this past weekend at my place in Northern Michigan.  We recorded cab chatter, true to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for this engine that will be part of it's PFA.  We had a great time putting this together...

Any idea when these will come in?

Pat, earlier today MTH announce this locomotive                                                                that they were doing for you.

I like both diesels but this one wins.

I don't often disagree with you Jimmy but in this case the Copper Range wins hands down. 😁

Last that I heard was this Spring.  Maybe Pat can chime in on this.  Only a few units left.
