Great purchase and beautiful piece of American railroad history. My brother is a train and railroad nut so I can’t wait to give this to him for Christmas. Thanks! If you’re looking to buy this, do it quick before they’re gone, seriously you won’t regret it.

Thanks for the kind words! What a special gift for him. It means the world to us knowing it is going to someone who is going to love it also! There are only a few left. Then they will all be in collections. It is going to be so hard to let the last one go as we are collectors at heart also.
