Jay,

For a buck ninety nine and a little work, you'd have a decent model of a wrecked F unit that the cab section had been removed to rebuild a hit hard n the front unit. I'm surprised no-one has bid. I don't have room around my enginehouse..............

"Basket case for parts or use as a scrap yard detail. "

Well, at least that's accurate......

There is that shipping charge. That one belongs in the recycling bin, not on a well-detailed layout. Opinion.

A well detailed layout might have a scrap yard or have a scene featuring a burnt out hulk sitting on a siding where it caught fire and where one might use their imagination to craft a unique scene. I've sold a few such scenes made from another person's junk, :lol:
