Hey, i’m new to the forum and have been searching for an O Gauge K-Line F59phi NCDOT “City of Salisbury” everywhere. I live in Salisbury, NC and i take my two sons (3 and a half and one and a half) to see the NCDOT #73 make its stop in our home town fairly often. We catch it around 5:48 pm… Both my boys (and me too now) are train nuts, but i really want to find this engine for their Christmas present. Ok, my Christmas present too. Anyways, It was made in 2005 I believe before K-Line went bankrupt and gthey are rare. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance folks.
I take it since this is a K-line engine it was O-27? If it is I’d be interested in seeing what you find. I just picked up a 1995 FA Amtrak diesel set and would love to have more O-27 Amtrak rolling stock and engines.
Not familiar with this engine, but I suggest that you contact places like www.trainz.com or some of the other dealers. They often buy collections and maintain a “wish list” that you can get on. Good luck.
I appreciate your help guys! I believe the engine is 027. Most of the info i have gathered was thru google searches. I found a K-Line legacy page that listed the engine. Here’s a link to exactly what i’m looking for: http://legacykline.com/apps/kl/catalog.html?useraction=catalogs&p_catalog=2004+1st+and+2nd+Editions&p_item_type=O+Scale+Diesels&p_oem_sku=K2403-1755 Since i posted my message (i bounced around different parts of the trains.com forums until i found the right place), my 3 year old son broke his leg on a trampoline (thanksgiving day) and will be confined to a cast for 8 weeks or so. That’s pretty tough at any age, but 3? i can only imagine his frustration. Now more than ever i want to get him something nice for Christmas. I’ll take your advice on the “wish lists” Bob, but would you mind throwing out a few more dealer names? There are a lot out there and i wouldn’t know which ones are reputable. Thanks again for your help! Jeremy
