He had sold the F unit off a few years ago, although when and to whom I am not sure. He recently sold the remaining cars and the GP7 to a fellow [[Mid-South Live Steamers|MSLS]] Member. The electrical systems in the GP were in really bad shape, having been attacked by mice and also being 40+ years old now. All of the electrical has been stripped out of the unit and it is currently undergoing a complete re-powering. From what I understand, the unit will not be repainted, only preserved in its as-is glory. I love that the locomotive actually looks like an aging locomotive that you would have seen out working some branch line or in a power lash-up sometime in the 1980's. I like new, well painted and shiny locomotives too, but that's not what they looked like most of their working lives.</ins></div></td></tr>

I do not know where those items are now, given that >30 years have passed since they were ours. However, given how much care and attention Daddy put into building his collection, I am sure they found a home with an appreciative collector, and I hope that someone is still enjoying them.</ins></div></td></tr>
