GP-18's On Sale at Wallyworld

Just thought I'd share in-case some of you yutz need to flesh out the roster a bit or make some GP-7's and 9's.

Picked two up myself, either they'll get thrown into the NW Poolpower (the parental units live near ATL) or chassis donated to GP-9 shells. If I can find DB blisters maybe even some Laurel Valley!

Split frames?

I've got a chopper and a GP-20 that need to be powered...

The GM&O GP-38 is way more tempting . . . . :o

It says Proto N. I believe these are the newer units.

Now only if they'd do that with the RS Units! I want roughly 5 more.

You had me going for a minute.  Wallyworld is a reference to Walmart in these parts.  Never heard it applied to Walthers.

I call it Wallyworld since they took over LL awhile back. Kinda reminds me of National Lampoons family vacation!

My GP-18's showed up today.

I'm supposed to be working, so all I did was open them and put them on the track. They're running laps in the lapout room with 10 cars on them.

Smooth and quiet.

I'll take them apart tonight and look at the mechs.

Again, thanks for the tip.

Running about six hours - one stopped - have to look at it tomorrow.

The others still going and getting quieter as it goes.

Looks like a good buy.
