I picked up one of these models last week at Caboose Hobbies in Denver.
I purchased the 453 with flying grande herald in black. Many of the
details are specific to this number including doghouse, footboard
pilot (when it was Durango switcher) etc. A switch under the coal load
allows you to turn off the motor so all of the lights can be turned
on when used as a display. Working headlights, cab lights, marker lights, and flickering firebox makes it a beautiful display. I am
impressed with the detail that Bachmann put into these models.
