I swore I wasn’t going to purchase a new locomotive but since i needed some #5 kadee couplers…well…guess what?..I ordered a new Athearn SP (with speed lettering) SD 4T-2 …it’s going to be a 60 day delivery period from trainworld so that will give me enough time to save up some change in my piggy bank to pay for the darn thing…that’s all i need…another locomotive!..is there no end to this madness?..[:D] chuck
I bought 2 myself[8D]
Don’t forget to pick up a new grinding stone to mount those couplers. [swg]
Makes perfect sense to me. If your gonna order more couplers, might as well order a new engine too. LOL
The trick is to dirty up the box a tad as soon as they arrive to convince the wife you had then for a long long time. Honest dear…
Just had to order two myself since they decided to run them in B&LE.
And thats it NO MORE engines, I swear.
It’s more like an addiction… We have A local train store here in town and I just can’t seem to stay away from it. I go there about two or three times A week and buy rolling stock. Next trip maybe A new steam loco.

I just got the cotton belt version, beautiful locomotive, cant wait to get the sound and lighting effects installed! Cheers Mike
Chuck…There is a treatment for this addiction of purchasing motive power and rolling stock.
I have been undergoing treatment for ATLHS…( addiction to Local Hobbie Shops) this past month and even visited a hobbie shop with a friend last monday…Mind you I did not purchass anything…enjoyed the two hour…mind you Sir…I said two hours in the LHS, other then a sprained back helping my friend load up his SUV with his goodies, and my treatment is really taking hold, a first for me…wallet and/or plastic untouched.
Im not out of the woods yet, but see no degression in my behavior as the cure is self induced, over a three month period.
Actually it…come to think of …coincides with the delivery of a DCC. There after I may not be responsable for myself…Hmmm…Did you say SD40 T-2 …Hmmmm…in spedo lettering…Hmmmm

So you have an extra engine, its a spare in case one of the others has a broken coupler; yeah that it.
I only have about 20 extra, but I don’t consider this to be a problem. But everyone knows denial is the first phase of any addiction.
Half of my life I’ve been playing with trains; the rest I just wasted.
I’m about ready get me one in SP speed lettering!
Just too good…can’t fight it…any longer… [:D]
