I must say, pushing the envelope springs readily to mind.
Standard 2360.
Dark green, had 5 stripes...and if you look really close, you might be able to see the remnants.
Motor blocks are filthy. Oil and grease.
Super 0 rot on rollers....shot.
Lots of driver wear and flange damage.
Paint is just gone for a collector...even for an operator.
Minimum bid (reserve!) is far above value, the BIN at $1100 is joke level stuff.
"Must have item for the man around town and center piece collection
Awesome find for your layout
Cleaned and serviced ready to roll down your layout "
Condition underneath doesn't show cleaned and serviced to me. Might be the lousy photos.
Angle of the wheels on the one engine truck shown indicate at least bent axle.
Good deal!
Be the first one on your block!

Re: GG1.....good price....!
I'm no expert, but sure doesn't look like C7 condition . Pricing is ridiculous as you note. Seller has 100% satisfaction rating, but clearly has no idea what beatup postwar should sell for. Hopefully due to lack of knowledge.

Re: GG1.....good price....!
One of the drive wheels has a divot in the tread? Not even sure how you do that. Pilot looks like somethings been chewing on it. I also wonder if that is "original" dust under the pantographs. If it's not he should be knocking a few bucks off since it's not "mint" (well maybe it is mint flavored?)
