As Sargeant Shultz used to say, " I know nuth-think! Nuthink!" :D Super that they saved the engine.

MB,
Davenport built industrial locomotive from 1903 to the 1956. They built a lot of steam 0-6-0 and 0-4-0 locomotives in many sizes. The built many diesel and gasoline industrial mechanical and mechanical electrical drive units, They even built fire-less and compressed air locomotives that had a pressure tank where the boiler would be. Finding a model of a davenport will be possible, but finding any steam model may be a challenge.
Good Luck,
John

The Life Like Tea Kettles have couplers just behind the cab.
I believe if one would do a little kit-bashing, these Davenport 0-4-0T's can be made.

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?

I seriously want an 0-4-0F!! I'd like roundhouse (athearn) to make it. They got some great mechanisms for good slow speeds!
I buy, repair, and collect
