trainsnwrcs #169 Even complete, even built, about 10-15% of that would be too much. Sand Cast Bronze....you will spend a whole lotta time trying to get it smooth. Yeah, it can be done....I've done it. No front cab wall, no lead truck at all, no trailing truck crossbraces or wheels, no drivers, no gears, no motor, not sure what the oval thing is (upside down) no crossheads or guides, no main rods, no valvegear at all, guessing value, as is, about $40-$100, depending on how stupid the bidders are. I can see the seller's response now: Just order out the missing parts! Dave toggle quoted message Show quoted text Latest PT Barnum award winner .
