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

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

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.

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
