Re: brass 4-4-0


 

John,
?Hoping to get it for $50 may have to go as high as $75 though,I bought a bunch of stuff from someone and he threw in $200 worth(at 1970 prices on packages) of detail parts,should get the locos and these sometime next week,probably find a whistle,bell and who knows what in these parts that I can use.I'm looking forward to assembling it,I'll get mechanism assembled and once that is operating to my satisfaction think about gearbox if it needs it looks like there are enough teeth on axle gear for decent gear ratio,some of the old balboas crawled,had 1 that you could count the armature bars in motor as it turned it was dangerous as it creeped so slow you wouldn't notice it was moving if throttle wasn't off completely.
?Alan
