Most likely another attendee of Henry's estate auction trying to capitalize on his purchase. Either didn't realize what was missing :shock: , what it took to return it to service :o or just purchased for resale. :wink:

Here's another interesting one: ebay #163162720751, Improved Car & Locomotive Shop, Lehigh Valley Alco RS-11, no PayPal
I thought the C&LS RS11s had truck-mounted motors, so this one had its mechanism replaced (if I'm remembering correctly.)

The winning bidder really didn't want to lose to a sniper -- he/she upped their bid twice, the last time being 12 seconds before the auction ended.

I’ve got the trucks to get the 4-8-4 rolling, but the seller won’t come down on his price. Too bad.
