Reply to "WEAVER MAINE CENTRAL 2-8-0 501 ON LAYOUT"

At the time these were sold by Weaver, K-Line was heavy into their bankruptcy,  Weaver acquired these, and I think one other steam locomotive, (?? a Pacific??), that had been produced for K-Line from the Chinese manufacture.  Most likely final paint and lettering was done by Weaver at their facility in Northumberland, PA.   They were sold at a very good, discounted, price at the time.   TMCC control, they lack speed control, though in some cases EOB upgrades may have been done.  It is a pretty good model of a Baldwin locomotive.  In some cases artistic liberty was taken and expanded to similar Alco consolidations.   Beautiful model and layout, thanks for posting.     

Another one from the same molds.
