GN O-8 2-8-2 open cab from westside.
Picked up a Mike that just came in today.
Things that needed fixing:
1. piping on one side loose and needed soldering.
2. piping from front air compressor needed soldering.
3. whistle broken off and re-soldered.
4. Injector loose and re-soldered.
5. Lift bar on tender broken and needed re-soldering.
6. both hand rails loose to the ladders on back of tender and re-soldered.
7. screw missing holding motor to mount.
8. screw missing on trailing truck, wheels frozen in trailing truck plus side frames too close and also binding the wheel axle and spring missing on one side of journal on trailing truck.
9. Journals on geared axle frozen to axle.
Other than that, no problems.
Took a few hours to fix but, I can't complain, I got it pretty cheap.
I now have a westside closed cab (that one had no problems) and an Oriental limited closed cab. The OL is real nice, FP glacier park, coast drive, movable sand and cab hatches, and directional lights. Paid twice as much for the OL but the westside is by Samhungsa and has a lot of nice detail. A nice feature of the westside tender is how low mounted the trucks are to the tender frame (very scale).
