Bassett Lowke Super Enterprise or Enterprise wanted...not for me, for a friend
« on: July 28, 2021, 05:16:44 pm »
I am posting this for my autistic friend who wants his own live steam locomotive.  I am looking for one that runs but looks less that steller.  He is on fixed income/SSI(he is a young adult that is unable to work) but he is more than able to run live steam.  He has run with our G scale group before but he lacks the room for G where he lives and he already has tinplate O scale trains and track.   He likes the Super Enterprise better as it can be a nice stand in for the "Hogwarts Express" hall class but in live steam.   I can handle a cosmetic rework for him, I just need it to be a runner.  I could say, even one of the bigger Bowman 4-4-0's would make him happy.  But I think his heart is set on the Super Enterprise like I just got with the regular Enterprise as the 2nd choice.    Anybody able to help out with an engine for a keen price?  I am on him daily not to spend the $$ he sets back each month so he can get an engine.   Thanks in advance.   Mike

This place is Awsome, not 10 min since I posted and a generious gentleman here has donated a pair of nice Bowmans to myself and my friend.  He will be super excited when he finds out in a little bit.  Heck I am bouncing off the walls.   Once I see which models we are getting, I may start the hunt for the Bowman coaches to match them.  I know those are quite hard to come by and do not expect those to be donated!   But I would appreciate any leads on them.  He will pull his Hogwarts cars, which are super lightweight.  So I will add some weight to each car so they help tame the speed a bit, along with capping a few wicks.
