Some people have all the luck...
« on: January 12, 2020, 08:15:49 pm »
A guy on one of the facebook pages picked this 1/4 scale up for $500!!  :o :o  Easily a $7k-10k engine...

The seller was the grandson of the builder. He got the house and wanted it out of the garage... was going to scrap it  :o

Came with baker fan, water wagon, and extra drivers

Yikes! Point me that way!

Reminds me of the guy around here who, about 10 years ago, picked up 5 or 6 model hit & miss engines for $50.00 each from a guy who had been given them by a widow.

Reminds of the old passage “...pearls before swine”. Thankfully it was saved from the scrap pile.

You got to be kidding me. I don't think I can tell you what my luck would be, forum rules and all.
