The Life-Like 'N' scale GP-20's are referred to as Life-Like's N scale
version of their Proto 2000 line- but they don't put that on the boxes. They
are very good runners, have some of the best N scale detail you can find
anywhere, have totally enclosed pilots, and come with Rapido couplers.
However- M/T #1015's drop right in and take about 3 minutes to install. The
dealer could have done this as an in-store upgrade. Starting with the
SD-7/9- all of Life-Like's N scale locomotives have the enclosed pilots and
#1015's drop right in.
