Reply to "Westside HO and O scale Triplex"

Back in the day when I was painting for a hobby shop in Pittsburgh I was handed the O scale Westside Virginian Triplex 700 to paint. Problem was though that it came disassembled. Ugh! I had to paint it and figure out where all the parts and screws went. It came out well. Well enough that I was handed a second Triplex to paint. Same customer. Luckily it was all assembled before I tore it down to paint. It would have been nice if I was handed that one first and then the disassembled one second. If I recall correctly one of the gears was either cracked or a few teeth were damaged. It was replaced and the loco ran ok. I think I painted the HO version as well. Exact same, just smaller pieces.
