eBay impulse purchase for $100. I initially regretted the impulse. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is very well built and runs great. Other than giving it a good cleaning, I had to replace and rewire the light. The light that was on it was broken. The light came from Forum Member Kevin (eBay Seller “chinexlady”). Kevin makes some very well machined Steam Parts. Highly Recommended.
I bought it because I thought it might power my DC HO Railroad. A project on which I have been working. But the alternator/dynamo/generator doesn’t put out enough volts. That search continues.
I need one that will produce a minimum 6 volts. That’s the lowest I can get the train to run using my DC Power Supply. If anyone has one they want to sell, please PM me.
