Great Northern #400 Hustle Muscle was donated to the Great Northern Railway Historical Society when it was retired from service, and is owned by us to this day. It currently resides at the North Shore Scenic Railway in Duluth, MN, where it is used regularly on excursion trains. It has a 20-cylinder 645 diesel engine, and has had the crankshaft replaced. The couplers appear to be Micro-Trains. The only problems with the loco appear to be cosmetic, and are readily fixable. I think you got a pretty good deal. Tom Carr - GNRHS Director
Very nice sd45 and great talk about the engine. I also have a bachmann spectrum emd sd45 but in conrail paint and it’s in ho scale and runs good. Thanks for sharing this!
thanks for stopping by! Often I try not to ramble on too much but I often have a lot to talk about. I just like to keep the videos brief so people don't lose interest, lol.
You should be able to pick up ab older Bachmann/Spectrum unit like this for $50-$60. all day, in great shape. Only reason I paid so much for this one is because I specifically wanted #400 the "Hustle Muscle" unit. Otherwise I'd not have wanted one with the small imperfections that this one has.

@@Trains-With-Shane I see what you mean!
I'm kinda new back into the hobby, in your opinion(which I highly value) what should I be paying for n scale locomotive like this?
