Well done piece, for 1950!
Yes - thanks for sharing. You must have really good track.
Carey,
It was a real pleasure to see your trains last Saturday. That is a wonderful engine!

Thank you for everyone's kind words. I was lucky ..being at the right place and the right time .....true be told ...so few folks collect vintage O scale .... This easily could have remained unsold at the show ....
So I"m a happy camper ...
Leon glad you were able to stop over,...guess we'll have to wait till October for Russ's
Keep safe,out there ..
Cheers Carey
Carey,
What a great engine and great detailing. I wonder however whether this is Stephenson valve gear. Your video shows one eccentric for each valve while Stephenson valve gear has 2 eccentrics for each valve.
Regards
Fred
That thing is Spectacular! Perfect proportions. That, the PRR 4-4-0 with 80" drivers and the B&O Baldwin 4-4-0 are my favorites as far as high stepping 4-4-0's go.
