eBay Bowser 4-8-2

 

Well now that I got back on Line I can show you some pictures of
the newer Bowser 4-8-2 Mountain. I think the price of $33 isn't to bad
with a new running Helix Humper motor in it. I had bought to have a
project to repair but there Isn't much wrong with the engine. Won't take
much to get it running. Might be to new for my vintage collection. The
frame , drive and valve gear are in great shape. The pilot has to be
attached. Only thing wrong with the boiler / cab is the back plate of
the cab is cracked in half. Easy fix. The trucks from the tender are
missing. I can take 2 out of a mint Varney kit to use ( pictured)
unless someone has two to sell. Basically clean the paint off , repaint
and decal. Will probably use on my layout to replace a Rivarossi Mike I
have there. Motor promised to someone if we can trade and the motor
offered me fits. Throwing away the sound board. No plans, to many wires.

You should be able to trade off the sound board for some trucks ? Eh ? Henry

Is there a speaker? If not, the board is probably a DCC decoder board only (no sound). I am sure that someone around would be happy to buy it from you. Is there any ID on the board? It seems a waste to throw it away. I agree with HH.

Jim H: After reading your note I was pretty sure that I had a pair of those Varney trucks, so I dug thru the parts bin, and they're sitting on my desk now. You need the die cast sprung bettendorf trucks with brass pick up wheels on one side, as supplied with the Old Lady and Casey Jones? If so let me know where you want 'em shipped, and I'll get them in the mail to you.
