I came across one of my "where'd I put it" engines. It's a 2028 PRR GP. I took the shell off and there's a piece of electric tape inside that says: Long Rail Repro.
I'm having trouble with this. It sure looks like a regular shell. The lettering is appropriately faded. Inside the shell is stamped with raised letters saying: PART No. 2328-5
I googled Long Rail repros and all I got was images of a variety of toys including plastic shell diesels. But, very few of them and not post-war. And, none like mine. None of the pictures are annotated so I think that they are worthless.
So, does anyone have any information regarding this?
I'll appreciate any help in this regard.
Alan
UPDATE: 1/22/18
I've had 63 people look at this topic without a single reply. This is a good thing. In other words, no replies means that my shell is probably original.
Thanks for nutten,
Alan
