That is an interesting story. I had a similar experience in 1981. Saw the Athearn unit at the Wolworths in Northwest Plaza St. Louis. It was a CB&Q china red scheme for $18.95. I really wanted a "good" locomotive, so it took me about four months to save up for it.
Found this photo seemed it was about right for Front End Friday:
Almost get the idea it is moving
Is the vignette effect intentional, or an artifact of a very small f stop setting? Either way, it worked out really well.

It was an intentional photograph. I invited an aspiring photographer over with a very nice camera to take shots of the layout, just before the tear down. As 95% of the shots were not very well executed, a couple passed muster, this being one of them.
As remuneration, a salvageable part of the layout went to their young son, who loved model railroads.
OK, we're getting behind with updates here. So here are some more "Front End Friday" shots of a couple of ScaleTrains Dash9-44CW's.
GN 400, a 1966-built SD45, is at St. Paul for Train Days 2022.
Took this shot a few days ago, just about got the entire train in the pic
