Figured the pantographs alone were worth it if I didnt like it once in front of me.
I'm going to be following you for a while in hopes you post more on it.
I'm glad you forgot! I'll try not to let it sit too long. I chose to let another one go... I wanted this one too, but people started bidding on it!
I also had this as a watch on eBay. Did not bid just watched the price go up. I like the Lionel 253's. The modification to make it a 4-4-4 was unique and does not look to do. I will keep my eyes open for a junker
I have several Lionel 248's that need to be brought back to live.
Just wondering if a 248 would look good as a 4-4-4?
Any Suggestions?
It would not be a replica of a existing engine but would make a nice tin-plate model.
The two swivel ends with trucks/coupler, could be fabricated from a old/junk caboose.
The picture is not mine but copied from the web. One that I have needs work.
