I second Wayne there; wow what a beauty! Unbelievable price too, given it's performance which appears stellar. Did you have to do much to get the smooth motion? Very nice, makes me wish I'd gone to the meet this year. The matching cast coach is just gravy too, bet you wish you had a couple more of them...or...do you indeed have more?

Thank you for your kind words about the new toy ...
Some one replaced the motor with a can ......

I'll leave it for now ..normally replace cans with K&D's

This is the only cast car ...I do have one of Alexander built up old time car ...nicely hand lettered ..

This engine was part of a gentleman selling his RR ...Calumet Southern ......the engine was much older than the other items he had ......

Cheers Carey
