Geez...I gotta keep something to fill the shelves , fortunately I really like creating things (occasionally moving them on) & starting on yet another project.Geez Nick, I didn't think you ever sold off anything 😃
My "gone but not forgotten" list would be pretty extensive, But there are a few I regret moving on & wouldn't mind having back again 😉
And I am thrilled to have a few of your cast offs Bruce. 🤠
If only we could talk him into letting go of more... ;) :D

Didn’t I also get a wood base Cooper/ Jensen 70 from you?
I honestly can't remember them all... :D
I might come across it as I am digging through all my old pictures...

...and i believe the 65 went this way as well?
Starting to seem like my entire collection is based on your leftovers Nick (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji23.png)
Guess that just goes to prove that "one man´s trash is another man´s treasure", since i´m completely over the top with every deal we´ve struck.
Some pretty nice trash Jan ;) :D Always better to deal with a forum member over ebay. They were all pieces that I wanted for collection, but my bidding finger somehow brought some duplicates this way :D

This alcohol fired 75 went to our own Mike (Junkologist)

I believe this 15BL was sent over to Jan along with the iron flywheel 35 in post 1

He also ended up with one of these 15's (I believe the left one)

After seeing his restoration/conversion to a 55G, I was very happy I let these two pieces go... 8)

Here is how it looks after a complete makeover. It's now mounted on a solid cherry base,
has had the firebox repainted with copper paint, and the cast iron parts painted with
a base coat of Duplicolor Hampsted Green and a light top coat of Duplicolor Spruce Green.
It doesn't look quite as blue in real life.

Here is a closeup of the paintwork. It's not exact, but I'm pleased with it.
The cast iron Jensen 15 generator was a little beat up when I got it (also from Nick, thank you),
so I filled some weak areas of the ironwork with JB Weld, then smoothed it out with a
Dremel tool. Looks almost brand new now.

And I am proud to have it Nick. It has multiplied as I now have three.
Haha I think I'm up to 3 PW201's :D
I do need to move a few more on though.
That pile keeps on getting bigger here...

Charlie will recognize this Luton Bowman PW203, sold on as I found one with a metal badge on the base instead of a decal.

I've only ever sold one engine, a Jensen 55 which is one of my favorites.
Only sold one, now that's dedication to the hobby ;) :D

Haha
not often, most of my sold engines are duplicates from when a better example was found.Here's a Bing loco with oscillating cylinder in the cab that was sold on as I found one without the solder repair, better paint and came with cars.
