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

Wow! That was a deal! Wish I had known about it. Where was it at?

I sure wish I had seen it in time to bid!

Was in Vermont, so I would have had about 40 hours of driving ($400-500 in gas) and it had to be out by Wednesday, plus internet premium. Still would have saved about $1000-1500, but just came up for sale at the wrong time. 

Hi There.
I am the very lucky owner of this model 50 and the Merry go round. The guy who won the auction only wanted the Ferris wheel. He had the steam engine and Merry go round at the Brimfield MA flea market the weekend after he bought it. I didn't have the money to buy it on site, so we texted the next day, and set a price and then I drove to RI to pick it up. The engine had a little rust, a little dirt, and a lot of dust. I cleaned it real good and it ran great. The Merry go round is a hand made work of art. The whole thing was an incredible find. Now I just have to find a place to put this thing. The boardwalk dia. is about 3 feet.

Awesomeness. Great find.
