I have several early Scouts and I think they are under appreciated. That was my first O gauge loco and typically I  ran as many cars as it would pull until the motor gave out. Lasted 8 years though. Good job Mitch.

Thankee!

Mitch, how do you pick up motors on Facebook.  I didn't realize they had a section for selling things.

I got 'em here:

That's the bakelite encased motor, right?  A real curiosity with an ingenious reverse mechanism.  The Scout boiler probably helps it haul better than the plastic 246 boiler mine came with.

Correct on all counts! ;-)

don't count those Scouts out. Dad's 6110 runs and smokes great.

That's the one with a vent in the front for the smoke?  Had one of those, then donated it to a hospice for kids.  Far as I know, it's still delighting 'em to this day... ;-)
