With a blue base, it’s likely the larger 135/2, even better! 😆

Two of my 135/2’s in the video below. My blue base also has a rough original box. While I like boxes, it is huge and a pain to store, so it is currently used as a storage box for all my Fleischmann accessory boxes 😆

If there is a lesson we should all take from this purchase, it’s that this engine is 65 or so years old, never fired and still sold for less than half of what it would cost brand new. If you’re buying a new engine and putting it on the shelf for future collector value, don’t! 😆 fire it up and enjoy it! Most if not all of us here will be gone in 65 years, so enjoy your brand new engines!!
