Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Stole this idea from Rog's website... hope I don't get too emotional here   

Feel free to join in and share pictures of any engines you have sold on

First up is a heavy iron flywheel 35. This one is not completely gone as it is now with Jan 


QWERTYUIOP

A nice copper-brick 65 that needed a dusting and a good polish... sold on as a found an even nicer example

Geez Nick,  I didn't think you ever sold off anything

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.

Really miss this engine and if I find a nice one I will probably buy it again. This one was a wreck bought very cheap on ebay... the plating was very patchy on the boiler and being it needed many solder repairs including leaking endcaps, I polished the boiler to bare brass. I was able to save the nickel on the steam line and fittings.

I've only ever sold one engine, a Jensen 55 which is one of my favorites, but I have three others that are nicer, two of which I got from Gil. The one I sold on went down under, but I originally got it from John Reed, so there is some history to it, here among friends. The only problems it really had was that someone had tried to work on it with a pair of pliers, and were none too careful about doing so, and a poor replacement electrical plug.

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

This trio was sent of to Owen Kraus (D6, D16, D24)





Really miss having a D24...
