Reply to "Great Northern railway"

Just arrived.

Burlington O-5B 4-8-4 closed cab, oil tender. Burlington interfaced with the GN. President Hill owned stock in the Burlington and tried to merge it, NP and GN but the ICC put a kibosh on it. Burlington pulled the GN passenger trains from St Paul into Chicago.

Another engine that's been sitting in the box for the last 30 years.

Unusual functioning close cab plate: instead of the usual brass construction, this one is cloth.

No coupler mounted so, at most, it was test run.

Very nice cab detail:

Drop front coupler:

Tons of detail: piping, running gear, etc

Sliding vent hatches.

Even has the lanyards to the bell and whistle.

Can't beat the price and detail of an Oriental Limited and Samhongsa combo!

Test run video:
