I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a reliable switcher in HO scale that has the road name New haven in the McGinnis paint scheme. I tried looking on ebay over the last couple of months, but most of the products offered are old, old, old and I am not sure if they will work well.
Other than that I could only find DCC models and I currently do not have the money to shell out for that type of engine, and my layout will be small with block control. It looks like most of the searches I have done on the internet or LHS have switchers that are DCC. Is this the new standard for switchers?
I am not desperate as I just started benchwork, but it would be nice to round-out my engines before I get too far ahead.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. - I actually found a switcher on a New Haven historical society website, but with a membership to the society plus the cost of the engine it would come to the same price as a DCC engine ($100+)
