Fleischmann 130/2 Steam Engine
« on: December 05, 2022, 07:27:20 pm »
Fleischmann 130/2 Steam Engine dating from around the mid 1960's I bought this of Aussie eBay and it came unfired in its original box still with the Fleischmann tags on it from the factory.
I ummed and ahhed for around 10-15 minutes should I run it, before I filled the boiler with water and fired her up.

Beautiful engine, Jim! Yes, you were right to snag this one. I especially like the color scheme -- very eye-catching! Thanks for the vid.

You got a sweet one Jim!

 I’m circa 1960’s and wish I looked half as good!
