Accucraft Ruby Live Steam locomotive PROJECT in 1:20.3 scale.This is a Project/ Kit Bash! This is not a new locomotive nor is it completed and is only for those of you that understand how these locos operate. It is/was a project. I purchased this item new when they were first released about 20 years ago. I took it apart and converted it to an outside frame 32mm gauge. It was modified to work with R/C at one point. I then converted back to 45mm gauge. Lots of axel work. Its ...a fun loco and ran when I put it away about 5 years ago. I have all the finger burns to prove it. The boiler, gas container, oiler and all lines are good. It ran like a top. The valve gear worked great as well. It was always properly lubricated and only used distilled water. Safety valve was functioning as well. Comes w random parts, some stock, some not. This is for sale AS IS and I only recommend this to a talented model builder, lots of things to work out and smooth up to have a reliable loco. It WILL need additional work. I will NOT accept returns. I was going to find a second Ruby and build an Articulated Unit like a 2-4-4-2 or simular. I have no room on the boat for such things and it has to go. These parts are expensive when sold individually so I believe its a good addition to your live steam roster in one way or another. I've tried to be as honest as possible with the description and explanations, good luck with your bidding. I'm here if you have any questions or need any other info so please ask. **ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID** I think $25.00 ought to cover shipping, please, lower 48 only.
