This came in the mail last week. Minty in box "motor runs but won't move" according to the seller. I found out that all 3 gears on the side of the engine were missing. It runs and moves nicely now though I've only run it breifly. Except for the horn in excellent condition and the first SD24 I have with both anticlimbers still attached.

This one came in the mail too this week.
I knew it was missing the handrails but the front coupler
was broke in shipping.

Hey Guys:
My shout this week is a nifty little FM Switcher just won off EvilBay, a 12-44 that Hypo got me hooked on, and; curse you for that my friend!!! [:D]
Really well built little units. I have the Walthers SW1 in LV. The attraction for the 12-44 is that Raymond Lowey designed the body and I love his work...
C'mon guys post em up!!!! [^] [^] [^]

Alco Fan,
That's the same engine I was going to bid on.
At least it went to one of the Tyco forumites.[:D]

Choochin3,
That was one of my fortunate wins for sure. They don't show up that often. Plus, it has an interesting story considering the missing gears and that some may have stayed away from it for that reason.

This is my rarest Tyco. The paint is peeling off the top, but it runs well. I'm not going to put it the trading post just yet, but I'm moving and I'm going to have to let a lot of my stock go, so if interested in it, P.M. or e-mail me.

Sorry to hear you need to let go of things you like. Is that a double motored version?

Catch of the day...brought this home today--I know there are some Shark lovers here. Cleaned and lubed, runs great, headlight and horns complete. Haven't decided whether to keep or sell yet. Have matching caboose also.

Not a complete LOTW, but picked this nice bit up along with the above Shark. "New," boxed MU-2 front power truck for F unit. May sell along with Shark.
