Hype for the Future 131C: Town of Monon, Indiana

Trainz.com recently posted for sale MTH 30-20683-1, which is a model of the Monon’s very first diesel locomotive: DS-50. MTH released this model in 2019, as a custom run sold exclusively through Mr. Muffin’s Trains up north of me in Atlanta, Indiana.
Monon DS-50 is an EMD SW1, which was delivered to the Monon in the early 1940s. It’s still with us today, and has been undergoing restoration work at the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum.
I’ve wanted this model ever since I knew it existed, but rarely does it go up for sale. The only other time I recall seeing it for sale, I was too late to buy it. That was a couple of years ago. Thankfully, the folks at Trainz.com put this up on eBay, which is where I found it thanks to my saved searches. With that being said, though, I bought it through the Trainz.com web site since I have an account there.
