A little story
Athearn released the CSX GP15T in YN3 paint scheme about a year ago when my layout was SoCal oriented. I was rational and did not buy one even I loved the engine so much. The engines was sold out fast and offers at ebay vanished when I moved from SoCal to the east coast earlier this year. Some month ago one was presented here at Big Blue. I had tears in my eyes but none were available and I had my new layout was in the 1970 - 1980 time frame. Way out of CSX YN3 engines and I was still rational. About two weeks ago I found one by accidentally in the US ebay at a reasonable price.
I love it to be irrational. I will not bother you with any further photos of an obviously misplaced model on my layout but I will run it ones in a while and have big smile in my face
