Imported by Ken Kidder in the 60's?

Both Ken Kidder and LMB imported a bunch of these critters in the late 50's early 60's 
They were real cheap and still are. Not really sought after  the Duke of iron

Maybe it should be a flat car load to fit in with all your more "modern" power seen in the background!

Is that a Rio Grande GP60M? Awesome.

Those are Baker couplers on that critter.  The same type that the infamous John Allen used.

I sold one of those a few months ago at a swap meet.  I asked for $15, and settled for $12.

Considering the SP Black Widow BL2 and DRGW GP60M with Elephant ears, might as well paint it daylight numbered 449!  ;^D
