such a sad ending
Hi, just saw your thread, and to answer your question, they were retired in 1982 and sent to the states for scrap, such a shame that nothing was kept in a museum or preserved in other ways.
I have the N-scale version of it, it still works, and it was made by Bachmann.
I just wished it would of been in better shape, I didn't appreciate for what it was at the time, but it is repairable now that i can appreciate it better.
Maybe Rapido will eventually make an N-Scale version in time.
