Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I was all tempted to bid more for this one to. Now that it's sold I'll point out something that really stands out but often overlooked. I think Gil has aquired a very interesting year 50 here. Personally I can't recall seeing an angled sight glass #50 boiler on a brick firebox. Hopefully you can procure a brick smokestack base. I think its a very nice engine and one not often seen.
Kudos to all. Thanks Tom and congrats Gil and buyer.

Thanks, Jack. I don't know for sure which way this project will go until it gets here and I have had time to scare up a few parts and look it over up close.


In the early 1960's the fireboxes were brick and the boilers retained the slanted tube site glass into the mid 60's or later. It was sometime between 1965 and 1968 that the 3 round windows found their way into production.
