Reply to "Fred Icken double gear reduction drive 1928-31"

1. In fairness, we have to remember that those and other details could have been added or removed or changed once or many times over the years.  Even if someone "rebuilt" it in the 70's when it was already 40 years old, it's now been another 50 years.  Carey seems to like to retain the original patina of his locos which I appreciate and respect so I'm guessing it may stay as it is??  Either way it's is a very cool loco!  I only hope to bump into an Icken or Alexander as I go...

2. I'm lucky or unlucky to be stuck with 8 Scalecraft Locos plus some bits, certainly enough to keep all the doors in my house propped open for ever lol.  Difference is, Carey's run, and he RUNS em!! I have to get there!

3. Link to one of my early SC K4 chassis running up on blocks, fairly smooth.

1. Good point.

2. We should all be so "unlucky"...  

3. Your example in the video is great; what age, you reckon? I appreciate the video as well; it's nice to be able to see it up close like that. Looks like the frame is cast bronze...?
