Well, I'm letting go. You are free to bid on it through ebay if you wish at https://www.ebay.com/itm/155447990443. Anything over $100 that I get for this locomotive will go to Big Blue as a donation. I don't think we have any D&H modelers, so I don't expect any of you to be in on it. But, you never know.
As Tom indicated, it's a bit like selling a child. My wife (already retired) is getting the itch to leave Maryland and only stays because I haven't retired yet. I expect when I do retire (in roughly 6 years) the drum is going to start beating to move. She wants to move south where they don't have basements. The writing is on the wall for my future in model railroading, so there's no sense in keeping stuff I'm not going to use, and if someone can enjoy running this, well that'll bring me a little joy. Things are just things and we only have them to possess for a short time.
