    custom built for Arnim Koch in Germany. The loco is based on the well known Hallmark "Freedom Train" Christmas ornament. Powered by a MTL GP35 chassis with non=powered leading and rear wheel set. Additional details: 5-chime horn, grab irons, windscreen wipers, fan plate, double head light, MU-hoses, MTL couplers, number plate above cab and , of course the paint and decal job for one of America's most classic paint scheme

    Beautiful job! Drilling all those hoes into the metal body for the grab irons and light must have been fun!

    Yes, but there have been several beautiful versions of it by others, so the credit goes to them for their fine modeling skills.
