I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Nice, just what is so special about this bronze unit? Is it still plastic or actual brass? Looks metal. Never seen one like it.

Yeah, he's a great seller. I just bought some of his Rivarossi replacement brushes on eBay.

Here's my original release Bronze Hustler from the mid 60's. Athearn introduced these in 1960 originally.

I just picked up this hustler today at a train show for free after i bought the tyco #24 santa fe shifter for $5.00 they were packing up and he said take it,but its red and doesnt run and looks like it was band driven. any insights on the internals of this. Using the washer cam here is a few pics.

Interesting fact: searching Google for "bronze Hustler" did not produce the results I expected.
