    Great catch!! So, after closing on 40 years since this thing came ashore, would you still think it is ugly? I do. Really regret not riding it. But it traveled from the Big Smoke to the Big Nothing and back, and I just never had a reason.

    The Dutch cared enough to ship a set back and preserve it.. :)

    Great shot. Was this the only TEE set used on the Northlander, and, if any are preserved, where is it?

    There were 4 or so sets of TEEs imported JP. They all had the power unit replaced with a modified FP7. I think there’s still one set rusting away at North Bay, and one set was sent back overseas for preservation (no power cars though, they were all scrapped)
