This is my LOTW:
Picked it up yesterday. It is a Varney LIL Joe with a Kemtron cab forward kit and full valve gear:
I was surprised to see NO postings yet in any of the locos or cars of the week!

Caboose 1, will you be needing that shifter poking its nose in the background?? I need one for parts for a restoration i'm doing on an older shifter? Anways my TWO locomitives this week are part of a mini lot, just them two, a 1950s All metal MDC Roundhouse 0-6-0 and Life like 0-4-0! Got em off ebay last week!
 here's my next long term project! Restoring this Roundhouse ALL METAL 0-6-0 back to operation! With no layout right now and with me spending every saved money on new layout supplies, fences, track, a roundhouse, and a new shop. So right now i will be cleaning it, painting it and getting it to run. then after my layout is done i'll find her a tender.
 here's the life like teakettle! I already have the newer one that im turning into a 2-4-2 but its good to have another  said not be running, i've got to figure out why, shouldnt be all that hard.
I buy, repair, and collect

I'm not a shark fan, but I love this Canadiana Shark Nose. Now I need the Canadiana C430 and I will be set.

My LOTW is a nice W & A steamer by Mantua. Missing the wood/coal load, but otherwise in nice shape. Needs some cleaning, too.

I might have a smokestack for you Jerry if you need one. PM me your address and let me know your preference. (straight (coal burner) or balloon (wood burner))
If I have it, it is yours.

The tanks on top are the main air resivoirs
They are on top because the fuel tank takes up all the space underneath
