[modeleng] Re: Loco

All the Ebay knocking, if you know what you are looking for, you can get 
some real bargains. I have a collection of stationary engines now that were 
obtained for either resonable ore very cheap prices. Ok, you can't get to 
see what you are getting but I have not had a bad one yet and have now got 
10. A couple of the freelace ones show a superb degree of engineering, one 
so, if you blow in the inlet pipe, it will turn the engine over. OK, perhaps 
I have been lucky or just observant, can't offer anything towards buying 
machines but my mate reckons, if you can't go and look at it, don't bid for 
it.

Slip eccentric valve gear, and slotted head screw fastenings for the
connecting rods, plus other details make me think that 1937 might be the
year of construction. Or perhaps when it was started.

The price of £245 is well over what I think it is worth.
To bring it up to modern standards would require a total rebuild, and I
doubt much of the original would be worth re-using.

Still. To reach that price, some people must think it worth the price.

If you want to see a loco from hell, have a look at item number 300025763327
