An amazing thing to see this 90 year old engine running so well in original condition. How will you fix the lightbulb terminals?

Thanks for asking.

It will only require cleaning the brass generator brushes and the stator and adjusting the pressure on the outside brush.

Awesome finds Gil!! Glad you got the whistle back with the engine, I’ve had to make extra purchases in the past too to get the correct parts.

Thanks Nick! I have made additional purchases before.

However, I have never before paid double what the parts engine was worth.

The main thing is the whistle is now reunited with it's proper engine.

The 1950s #25 it came off of will be sold for a partial recovery.
