RARE VERY HARD FIND 2 RAIL OUT SIDE RAIL POWER PICKUP. NOT TESTED TENDER ON RIGHT IS PLASTIC NO RETURNS NO OFFERS HAVE NO TIME FOR EMAILS!!! EVERY THING YOU SEE IS YOURS

Severe case of attitudinal deficiency, I do believe.
At $176 plus shipping, it needs to be A) complete, B) running, and C) a whole lot better condition.

Opinion.

AS-is, I'd give him $25, but that's just me.

That's been listed on/off most of the year,

If'n I dinna have 2-3 decades of projects all queued up, I'd be having a use for it, but now't at any price do I be needin' more under foot when I canna find the time to work, hear?

That does not even qualify as junque which might be useful. It reminds a lot of the Gem 2-6-0 that someone kept offering for 950 without tender and the whole pilot broken off - as rare brass. I wonder if it is the same guy, and he is smoking something he grows in the backyard?

"RARE VERY HARD FIND 2 RAIL OUT SIDE RAIL POWER PICKUP."

Izzat anything like "outside 3rd rail'?

Jim, I think he might have got some of Dave's "Grass" from that other post!

Seller is from Michigan.....can't talk about too much moonshine in Michigan. Of course, too far away to blame Minnescrotum. Not sure what he's thinking other than dollar signs.

I saw it go by - never even opened it. I personally wouldn't give $25 for it, now that I have looked at it. The only thing I see A-N about it is maybe the drivers? I have enough of those.

crosshead guides, pistons, cylinders, and the tender floor sure looks like photos I've seen of a tender drive 4-4-0.
