There is a passenger trainset for sale including 2 F units, coaches, snack cars, and a sleeper. [:p]
I wish I had a lot of railroad track and money to buy it and have fun with it. [;)] [:D]
But then again, “Don’t we all?” [:D] [:)] [:p]
Here is the link.

(Maybe we could talk Mudchicken into building us some railroad track somewhere out west where there is some running room. [;)] Well we can dream can’t we?) [^] [:0] [:p]
Hey Jim, Nice trainset! and a steal at $600K [2c][2c][2c][2c][2c][2c][2c]
Maybe TRAINS mag would consider buying this set and use it as a promotional train. They could move it all over North America, picking up forum users for excursions and promoting rail travel. Mr. Hemphill, are you listening?? [:D][:D]
Jeff
Oh, I LIKE that idea. [:D]
We could make Mookie the official “kitten” of the train and use her pic as the logo. [:D]
Hey it worked for the C & O. [;)]
Does anybody know why CN is getting rid of this equipment? Did ther Royal Canadian tourist idea just not pan out?
If I had the money, I’d snap it up in an instant. Perhaps we could all chip in a little bit and use it to run some “forum specials”? I’ve always loved CN’s old green and black paint scheme!
Jim:
Sure, I can build you a railroad out here…Can I count on you for a $700 million retainer on that?[(-D][(-D][(-D]
( the boss is a bit of a stickler for things like that!)
If you buy it, I know of a 40 mile shortline in Iowa that might accept it!
This is one time a bunch of us would love to WIN the LOTTERY!
If I had any money;it sure would go for this!
AAH? Mookie and Larry? Could you lend me just a little to tide me over until I win[?]
We could probably bargin them down to half a mil.
I generally am not a big fan of the F unit engines, but that color scheme makes them look awsome.
Dammit, why did you have to post that.
Now you have me wanting to buy a train I can’t even come close to affording!!!
Lots for sale on that website.
Don’t like F units…who are you???
Wow
id have to repaint it but the piggy banks a little light these days.
stay safe
Joe
I’ve always found F Units to be ugly… don’t know why, just my preference…
Perhaps I sub-conciously feel that it’s their fault steam is no longer here.
Saw that
DOGGY
Wow macguy, you take those things personally…but it was bound to happen.
That train is a bit overpriced. It hasn’t been a CN owned train for quite a few years. It was on the Waterloo-St. Jacobs tourist line in Canada until it failed and was then sold off. I doubt it would be of much use in the U.S. without a good bit of work as it is all Canadian equipment and would require some modification to comply with FRA regs.

Well, they aren’t that bad, but they certainly aren’t my fav.
Here’s [2c]. I’d give you more, but I just cleaned out my account to buy lottery tickets…[:D]
Oh darn it, Larry. Oh well, better luck next time!
Here’s my [2c]I always repay my debts.
Thanks anyway[swg]
As I noted above this is not CN equipment. Also, the Royal Canadian is CP Rail, not CN.
As to the Lottery, I just keep on playing. Dunno if I would buy this train with the winnings, there is a lot of passenger equipment on the market now in any event…
