    Just won a BLI SD40-2!!

    Btw Chris, yes i did! Carshopper has some nice models. For some reason this was priced at 99. someone bid 105, i bid 106 and no one else bid after that!! If i like his service i may keep an eye on all the locos he puts up on ebay. Hes got a really good rating so i figure hes a man of his word.
