Holy Bat Poop....alco

I suppose there is value to the chassis. Even thought it APPEARS the pot metal frame is rusted.
I do believe it is originally postwar, even though PO tried to make is MPC or later.
Cab number is a steamer (lionel).

Paint is gone, no telling which layer. Decals for C&O, obvious, but the crack running across the nose and roof....
No place can I find does it say not tests or runs good.
Price dropped! Buy it quick!

That's a BIGGER piece of crap than most of that 2 rail stuff you enjoy dissing! May we could get group trash removal fees! :mrgreen:

Thought you'd like that "rare" postwar C&O Alco.

Somebody needs a scrap line next to their roundhouse...

I have a Z4000 that no longer works properly, part of it does and part of it don't, but it looks great and i have no way to test it. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :wink: :wink:
