finally found... canadian sharknose

after several years of waiting, i have finally acquired a tyco HO scale canadiana sharknose.

there were 4 pieces released under the canadiana banner: two locos, a boxcar and caboose. the boxcar is by far the most common item to find, followed with the C430 loco. i am going to say the caboose and sharknose are equally rare.

theres a story to this loco, before ive even received it! i found it a few days ago, and placed my max bid this morning before going to work, hoping to be home before the listing closed. due to various things, this was not to be, and i was an hour later than i wanted.
the listing had closed, and i had been outbid. however, upon checking my email, i had received a second chance offer from the seller, so grabbed it. all up, with shipping, its cost $101NZD.

this is the sellers photo. my last buy from canada took 3 months to arrive, so expecting an equally long wait.


you can see the other pieces in the first couple of photos on this page
