Re: (erielack) GP-35 2570

Walt-

That's a standard Athearn unit & number which has been out since at least
November 1, 1979 (date I bought mine).  Note the color on the "maroon"
stripe, It almost looks brown.  After twenty years, mine still runs very
well along with its 
sister #2564 which I have as purchased on March 24, 1973.

Good luck,
