Got this custom loco, boiler and tender Penn Line, frame and wheels Varney!

I like the jewels on markerlights very much.

have to change from green to red (ML), I will finish this project thats begun 50 years ago, adding markerlights, brakelever?, needs new keystone and so on.
the only parts that were made of plastic are the crossheads. and what should I tell you? both are broken! got new ones from Bowser, but they where to short and i was glad to have a fitting wire from the recycling of my old notebook. I am glad to present this vintage stuff at the TYCO FORUM!
Many greetings to All - Erich

Sweet find. Is this from a hobby shop or an auction. It's a really nice example.

Nice combo! It looks very nice!

The markerlights are a very nice detail too.
