naw, I am past Empire projects! LOL Thank you for asking @komet163b
-
Rich...Would you, or anyone else like a PlayBoy project???
Pretty decent looking boiler...with one small dent
Double-action cylinder - you might want to buy a slightly longer 'hold on' screw
Steam pipe and base pretty decent
Flywheel is apropos
Needs a banjo for the top
Needs a whistle
Needs a pulley
Needs a heater
Needs 3 nuts/bolts for the boiler
And...an entire sightglass assembly
Regarding the heater - I've used 380 band heaters,
35mm X 35mm in size with some success. My PlayBoy,
B31, and an Elektro all run with one. Be forewarned,
all the band heaters from China vary a bit in wattage.
I suggest you buy two at a time. Or, try American!
I cannot give it away. I was about to use the boiler
to run another engine - a PM Research in a nice display
setup. I'm open to swaps (MARX 1930's trains, fine rare
rough agate, or intriguing steam engines and toys.)
Nice weather in the Big Apple today,

Wished I would have seen this sooner - that's one nice early Playboy! Though glad it has gone to a nice home.

FYI.....the engine has a new owner!

Packed it on Tuesday. Saw the other PlayBoy and said why not.
A weak-running Turbine is also packed. I'm a bit sheepish about
selling weak-runners.

Oh fine .... now you bring that one out of the woodwork!?!?

So, this is a first for me - selling on the forum...
This little cutie is boxed for sale. I'd rather avoid EBAY, where I bought it.
$85 + taxes/shipping came to $107. There was no guarantee the heater was good
and it had no S/V. Now it has an S/V and runs.
So, I'd like to get $107 for it. Shipping would be $25 and I'll refund any left
over. If shipping is more (like to the Pacific Northwest), I'll eat it. We can
discuss the particulars through pm's
Gotta steam 'em up!
