O Scale 2 - Rail Vintage Thomas 2 - 8 - 0 W/ All - Nation Tender. Loco Runs Well For Age
Item History & Price
This listing is for a project locomotive that I started several years ago. It is a Thomas 2-8-0 2-rail O scale steam loco and an All-Nation medium tender. My intention was to make a sort of faux D&RGW standard gauge loco, but time, tide, and old-age have put this on the back burner and now it is time to let it go. I will describe it as best I can, but please look over the photos and email with questions. <BR> <BR>
The loco is the standard Thomas 2-8-0 for 2-rail oper...ation. I have tested it with 12V DC both with clips from the power pack and on track. It runs well, but will need lubrication before any serious layout use. There is no headlight, but I assume the buyer of this locomotive will know where and how to find one and attach it. The front coupler is a working knuckle coupler. You can see in the photos that one air pump has been soldered but it is in need of one more. The one on the loco is an old Backshop 11 1/2 inch air pump if you are thinking of one to match it. PSC offers a similar pump. <BR> <BR>
The tender is a standard All-Nation medium tender used on their 4-6-0. Despite what you see in the photos, the brass is not stained, the dark spots are where a previous owner polished the brass with a fine emery cloth and it reflects the light differently. It has a dummy knuckle coupler on the rear. Both the loco and the tender have drawbars. My intention was to use the insulated, power-carrying drawbar on the loco, but I have left the insulated drawbar on the tender is case that is of use. <BR> <BR>
Please look over the photos and email with questions. Shipping is via USPS Large Flat Rate box.
