I am selling a Walthers F40PH HO scale locomotive that was originally in CSX Transportation paint, but I repainted it to become a replica of the San Francisco/San Jose/Silicon Valley Caltrain commuter rail line. Caltrain runs daily services between San Francisco and San Jose Diridon Caltrain/Amtrak/ACE Station, with limited service to and from South San Jose, Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy during peak weekday commute hours and convenient connection to SFO Airport via BART at Millbrae Station and SJC Airport via VTA Bus 10 at Santa Clara Depot. This paint scheme is the more recent meatball logo one, and the road number is #916, named after California. There are headlights at the nose and the upper rear. The only two flaws, which are very minor, is that the number on the back right corner is a bit fogged out by the dull cote I sprayed over it, but it is still highly visible, and that the snowplow at the bottom front of the engine likes to fall off, but I have corrected both problems by gently removing the dull cote with water without spoiling the decal and applying Walthers Goo glue to the snowplow attachment; the snowplow can still be removed. This is a great engine to go with your train set if you have an Athearn Caltrain Bombardier set. The Athearn Caltrain rolling stock is for display only and is not included with the auction. In addition, this would be close to impossible to find anywhere else because this type is not manufactured by Walthers. The engine will come in the original Walthers CSX HO Scale F40PH box it was originally purchased in and will be safely packed for shipping. I'm sure you will love this one-of-a-kind model for a great price! CUSTOMER SERVICE/PAYMENT: I strive to provide the best and most accurate item descriptions, most reasonable prices, and the fastest cost-effective means of shipping possible. I ship immediately or within one day (weekends and holidays included) of receiving Paypal only payment, and I typically send your item(s) via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, providing all applicable tracking information. Items and all contents will be packed with care. Payment must be sent no later than 3 days of auction ending and purchase, otherwise you risk an unpaid buyer claim filed against you, something I would not feel comfortable doing . Any buyer who doesn't pay on time and doesn't communicate with the seller will also be blocked from any future purchases. If you cannot pay within 3 days and still want to commit to purchasing, you must contact me regarding the circumstances so I can accomodate you, as I normally cannot cancel purchases and also I can understand your situation better. SHIPPING: Once payment has been received, I normally will ship your order(s) out immediately if payment is received before 15:00 PST Pacific Standard Time SHARP , as the post office picks up packages at that time. If payment is sent after 15:00 PST, your orders will be dispatched the next day, and for international orders I typically have a processing period of 1-2 days, weekends and holidays included. Shipping fees also cover handling and materials costs, and any excess charge will be promptly refunded to you. If you need a faster means of shipping, please message me with the date and time you want your item(s) by and your preferred shipping service. In this case, you must wait for an invoice (which will be promptly sent to you) before paying. If you happen to purchase more than one of my items, all items will be combined in the same shipment and the shipping fee of the lower-costing item will either be reduced or waived, at an amount depending on the weight and size of the items. If anything comes up and I cannot ship your item(s) right away like I try to, then I will message you and let you know. RETURN POLICY: All sales are final , which means I do not accept returns for any reason, unless I misrepresent an item or send the wrong item. I ship domestically and internationally to just about everywhere, but I do not ship to South America, Spain, Italy, India, Africa, China,... read more
