...from the two loc lot Ray offered recently. Both units are Triang, this one came from this set...
Alas, the pinstripes were lost when a previous owner felt the need to paint it with a broom and stove black paint. You can make out the heat stamped graphics under the paint in the reflected light...
I stripped the paint with Pine-sol...
...and just now got it running...It actually runs much slower now that the old bearings have limbered up and the grease has worked its way into the gears.

| Fine looking locomotive Shaygetz, but I thought you said it ran slow. Looks to me like it's hauling butt. I like the Jesus Saves billboard.

These old Triang locomotives run just fine. A pair of them have been pulling freight trains for years on the PGW. They were apart of the original engines transferred from the Catford branch of the PGW in London.

| Those locomotives look real nice painted up. And, I did enjoy the video more once I figured out to download it instead of waiting for all that buffering. Sounds like you were having a party while taking the video.

I am glad they went to a good home.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.
