Description: THIS ITEM IS A KITBASHED SWITCH ENGINE. THE CHASSIS AND DRIVE ARE ATHEARN BLUE BOX .IT HAS A GRAY SWITCHER MOTOR AND POST 1982 TRUCKS WITH PLASTIC SIDE FRAMES THE COUPLERS ARE BACHMANN 78125 SPRUNG KNUCKLE COUPLERS IN STANDARD ATHEARN COUPLER BOXES. THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NEW. THE SHELL IS AN AHM SHELL. IT WAS UNDAMAGED WHEN I FOUND IT AND IT HAD NO DRIVE UNDER IT. IT FITS THE ATHEARN DRIVE, BUT NOT PERFECTLY ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. IT HAS THE TYPICAL AHM OPEN PILOTS. THE ROOF WAS MISSING, BUT NOT THE WINDOW GLAZING, SO I MADE A NEW ROOF. I INSTALLED LED'S FOR THE HEADLIGHT AND BACK UP LIGHT. I CUSTOM PAINTED THE SHELL FOR ATLANTIC COAST LINE #45 BASED ON PHOTOS I FOUND ONLINE. THE SHELL FITS SNUG BUT IS NOT SECURED TO THE CHASSIS IN ANY WAY. IT WILL COME OFF BUT NEEDS A LITTLE EFFORT TO REMOVE IT. ( I THINK DO TO THE WIDE ATHEARN MOTOR) WATCH THE VIDEO AND LISTEN TO THE SOUND BEFORE PURCHASING THIS. I GO TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO MAKE THOROUGH, ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS. THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD STARTER UNIT FOR SOMEONE WANTING A GOOD QUALITY SWITCH ENGINE. ATHEARN DRIVE ARE EXTREMELY DURABLE AND DEPENDABLE. THIS IS NOT A MODEL FOR AN EXPERIENCED MODELER OR COLLECTOR. ( ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY UNIQUE!) THE STRIPES ARE QUITE UNIQUE AND I HAD TO MAKE THEM TO FIT. THIS UNIT IS DC, NOT DCC READY OR DCC FRIENDLY. RUNS LIKE A TYPICAL ATHEARN SWITCH ENGINE. UNIT RUNS VERY WELL . NO ORIGINAL BOX. UNIT WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKED FOR SAFE TRANSIT. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR QUALITY, DEPENDABLE, DC, DCC AND DCC/SOUND LOCOMOTIVES AND ROLLING STOCK. FREE SHIPPING TO LOWER 48 STATES.
