Although this beautiful locomotive is ready to run, the modeler has room to enhance this engine with additional details. Just imagine seeing this beautiful, rare engine running on your layout! We have decided to let it go from our collection, and it is available for sale. Although ready to run, this special offering affords the owner additional privilege to add details and finishing touches to suit your preferences.
A rare collectible sand cast piece, these are far and few between, representative of the type of modeling back in the day. Consequently, we felt it was well worth the effort to build out a custom power and drive mechanism to make it operational for heavy duty yard work switching. The drive features AAR Type A sprung trucks with pick ups on all wheel sets for 2 rail layouts. The motor is an Amtek-Pittman 30 vdc high torque to a single truck chain drive transmission. The chain tension is also adjustable if tuning it is needed in the future. Included with the model is a bell and hanger set and Allen key for the universal set screws for servicing the mechanism. The model has been maintained as close as possible to its original release.
