Gee Jim,

?

If you de-sound, de-Helix Humper and re-Pittman it I should think you could keep it. It may be a later run but that engine has history that goes way back.

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.
