I’ll see what I can do, I believe it would be the only video of that one out there… all of the other models are on YouTube. Being gold plated it would probably be the only time I run it.

don't ruin it then, are you able to hook some kind of air hose to it ?

It’s a steam engine, not an air engine 😉 I’ve ran the others with no damage, was just careful and kept a small flame. It will get fired at least once here 😉

Very, very well done. If you have a chance, could you check the SN on this one ?
Mine is SN 114.

The other variant of the stationary you are missing (but I am sure, not for long) must have a SN smaller or equal to 500. They started to make only gold plated ones after the first batch of 500.

Congratulations on your new engine !!

Geezo Nick .... that is and those are fantastic!

Heck, even I have shelf space for some of those, though likely not wallet capacity for very many of them!?!?

I’ve got a ton of wallet capacity now, I’ve spent it all on toys 😂

It’s a steam engine, not an air engine.






To bad you couldn't hook up a CO2 cartridge into the tender and run a line to the boiler.
But then it would probably fly off the tracks and put a hole in the wall. Never mind!

You think it would make a better “dart” than my Weeden Dart?
