Greetings from a newbie

My handle is train guy.
Trying to get motivated to finish or just get the Delta 88 running. It needs to share the garage with a new train layout.
But here in Pa. it's been too hot!!
Are there other owners of 71 Delta 88 Royal Convertibles on the list?
I have personally only seen 1 here in the area.
I believe there were only 2773 of these made in 71.
Looking forward to the forum and other enthusiasts.

Welcome to the site. There are many knowledgeable people on here. Look in the Vintage section or do a search for "Darksiders Unite".

Welcome. The number is actually 2883 made in 1971. All Delta 88 convertibles were Royales that year.

Interesting. What is your handle on the model railroad sites? "Car guy?"
