No not yet, still in the building phase of my new layout. Thanks for the warning about the replacement gears, hopefully they're OK, because USPS is making a killing on postage to the UK. I wanted some cab interiors for my SD70s, which were $9.67 each, and I need 3, postage was $63 for ONE. Needless to say, I'll do without.

Just for a price comparison, I just looked on e-bay for an undecorated unit. Only one listed.
$200.00 or best offer. Cheapest I found was a used a NKP unit at $139.00
I would say you did O K my friend.

Which of course begs the question, why was mine so cheap ?
I'll find out in time of course, either it's a greyhound or a donkey.

EF58 61 which was used to pull the royal train and is preserved in the Railway Museum in Saitama, Japan. This loco also pulled the Orient Express '88, which I didn't know. I'll have to remove the flags for that train.

And compared to EF58 160. A lot of silver highlighting was used.
