Robatron86 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I read somewhere that the Santa Fe only ever had one GP40. And it had neither of these running numbers. I'm not sure how true this is. Someone on here will know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here will know. Yup - 3500 series were GP-38 - later rebuilt as GP38u the only GP40 was 3461 - the fictitious number doesn't bother me though http://spazioinwind.libero.it/cajon/roster/sfdiesel.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have a fair bit of experience importing airsoft equipment through customs and have never had a problem. I imagine model trains should be a damn sight easier, no? If you've ordered something of considerable value, and you don't mind the expense of chasing it around, you can actually speak to someone in the warehouse it's currently sitting in and ask them what they need from you to speed up the process. The trick is finding a phone number for the warehouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
