Con-Cor HO scale Cotton Belt GP-40...


...a correction from an earlier post. As found in the February 1990 Model Railroader magazine...

Interesting to note that the "Limited First Run" started a full year before this ad and that, though pictured, the Cotton Belt unit is not listed as one of the units available. ---Forsooth verily, let us run to Ebay with this gem and make untold tens of dollars on said rare find.---

This one has had its handrails touched up with white paint, a practice I don't normally recommend on anything made of Delrin as it does not take paint well. The plastic is normally found on truck side frames and is used for its slippery, Teflon-like properties.
