Aristocraft SD45 CSX Set Road nos. 8940+8926 Gorgeous!
Here is a hard to find Aristocraft SD-45 set with 2 numbers. Nice-looking CSX livery. Test run only . Ran smooth and start moving at only 6-7 volts. Directional lighting works perfect. I did not test smoke. This unit can be easily adapted to battery power, DCC or Sound. Please see photos for condition of engines and packaging. Only flaw noted was a feint musty smell in the outer boxes. The engines themselves are pristine. Please note that Aristocraft included the handrails as user-installed items. These are on the backside of the main foam shell, and appear to be unopened and as they left the factory. We did a few hundred feet of test run and the video, and were very tempted to keep these. Check the photos for features of these models.
Iin my opinion the SD-45 is one of the finest models Aristocraft put out. |
