Hello all

Last engine purchase for 2021 .....Fred Icken PRR K4 ...circa 1933-6 ...sheet , channel and cast brass ...basic engine drive without the classic double gear reduction,....but runs like a Swiss watch .

Started life outside 3rd rail....last owner added inside 3rd rail pickups and a unit....current owner ...me ...converts back to outside 3rd rail,...and back to mechanical reverse .

Early Scale Craft cars ..1934-6 ...bristol board sides , wood roofs and floors ....trucks unique ..look like 6 wheel ..but center wheels dummy ..4 wheels sets with ball bearings ...oh they roll so nice ..originally on the "Little Southern RR " ...William Haverly's layout ..( first NMRA president ) .

Please see link for action video

Carey, your going to have to write a book on these, You are the most active seeker of doorstops in the current age!  I very must love all your videos and posts on these trains.  I almost thought the tender could be on a Scalecraft frame based on the rear where the couple release bar brackets  are.  That looks dead like a SC tender frame in the back, but since that is what the real one looks like as well, can't say one copied the other or vice versa.

Agree - and still pictures of everything.  Nice locomotive - but you need new tender sides.  Fred would never have done those buttons - had to be someone else.  Happy to make you a pair.

Oh - youtube led me to your O1 streamlined version - intriguing!  Seems to run well.  Are you sure those are Scalecraft Pullmans?  They look like J-C from here.
