Don't try this at home! A very badly damaged TEBU4 sits at Mac Yard LRC. This unit has been here for over 1 year and will likely not be repaired any time soon. This might be an interesting unit to model as iut started out life as a GP9.

  3. Hey Phil…Thanks for not settin’ the place on fire yesterday….:):)

  4. LOL@snake..you are most welcome my friend :-)

  5. How did this get damaged?

  6. @Todd. It was damaged in a collision at Mac Yrd over a year ago. Still not sure if it will be repaired or retired. Probably retired.

  7. That looks too short to be a GP9 frame, but I’m just guessing I’m not as familiar with the CN slugs.

  8. @rlk2211… I will look at the other side the next time I am at work as it may still have its #. The point I was trying to make was that CN has/had many different booster units including ones made from retired MLW’s

  9. I guess we get to see how Sluggos are made out of.
