Also no photo of the left side. Looks like the 3rd Rail mogul though.

Looking at these using a cell phone?
As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

Sunset 3rd Rail. Made in China. A piece-o-never mind.

Sure. 3rd Rail makes 2 rail scale models in parallel to the 3 rial models.

I thought it was 3rd rail division of Sunset. Sunset did 2-rail.

Yes, they do lots of two rail.

Gearbox isn't NWSL either. It's die cast. Ball bearings on the input. I have dozens of them. One of those, right place at the right time things.

See page 11. http://www.3rdrail.com/images/cat0908.pdf

Okay...can't make it out on this laptop, but my XP desktop has a good picture program, and it just looked like the bottom cover of an NWSL box.

See? Black blob. No, I don't own a smart phone. My friends complain that their phones are smarter than they are . . . Don't want that!

The picture is poorly lighted without a doubt, but if all you see is a blob you have either computer or eye problems.

Another small point of contention is that it is the auction title bar states it is a
2-6-2.

Possible that could be true -- give them a Turing test and see.

So if it is my eyes or eyepad, then why am I able to see such great detail in, say, Maroon's photos?
