Don't know what you paid for it but you didn't get hurt you made out very very well

The elephant ears on the SP GP40X diesel are the pieces near the rear of the body covering the radiator grills. They were designed to separate the hot exhaust being vented out of the top of the radiators from being drawn back into the lower grills in the effort to keep them from overheating in the long tunnels.

Interesting, thanks for the information.

This was my dad's collection. I'm so glad that I met Ben, and he is now making available to the model railroad community. I enjoyed his collection when I was younger, but now I'm happy to see it shared with other enthusiasts!

If you make a lot of videos, you should probably invest in a tripod as filming with one hand is not a preferred method of shooting video. Nice collection though. Just think about replacing all those plastic wheels with metal ones and body mounting Kaydee couplers! Quite a task. Cheers from eastern TN

IHC was just a distributor for Mehano, which is still around hover they just decided to focus on european trains, especially Vossloh BB and blue tiger series diesels and eurosprinter electrics

7:25 The Hobby Town "B" unit kit is pre-1963, (the year ZIP codes were introduce) as the address for the manufacturer only has a "Postal Zone Number" in its address.

Always interesting to see what other people have collected. looking through this though there were only 3 or at most 4 items that I would add to my collection.

Do a youTube search for "Daylight Dave". He is a (semi-retired) engineer for the Union Pacific RR. He would know about "elephant ears".
Merry Christmas from Florida.
