Hi Ken!

http://reviews.ebay.com/IHC-RSO-AHM-and-Mehano-Steam-Locomotives-in-HO-scale_W0QQugidZ10000000006974508

Reminds me a little bit of the Mehano engines, think it runs like them. (seems to be the same)

Did these have pancake motors? Much of the Pemco stuff did. I'd buy the IHC Mountain instead.

That's what I did and I wasn't disappointed.The IHC Mountain locomotives are very good. They run good, they have very good pulling power, and they're just cool looking.

It looks, for all the world, like a C&O J2. Yeah, I think the Pennsylvania RR paint scheme is fantasy.

These are Mehano with can motors. Good running and good looking.

By the way!

Really? Not even a used one? That's crazy, to be honest.

It's a craziness that stems from American-made steamers being imports where he lives. What would be completely insane is if he can't even get ancient Triang tank engines for that kind of money.
