RS3 for sale on EBAY

Post by Highiron »

I am posting this as a warning on behalf of the board of directors of the central Pasco and Gulf Railroad in Spring Hill Florida

There is an RS3 diesel locomotive for sale listed on eBay see the link below

This locomotive is currently involved in legal action and litigation and I would advise you to stay away from it anybody who has any questions regarding this should contact Central Pasco and Gulf Railroad President Jerry Smithson this matter has been reported to eBay and is being handled

May I ask, was this done by a disgruntled member or former member, or by a regular street thief? You would expect this to get picked up by people in the hobby.

If you know this car was advertised on DLS, was it reported to local police, or seized as evidence, or is it still out there?

Per the ebay ad
THE LOCOMOTIVE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT AND IT WAS LEGALLY REPROCESSED..
So what is the warning for?

The statement about not affording the loco is a total fabrication. There is a long story related to this litigation.
It will be handled by a court of law and the criminal system.
