Model Train Journal

Yes! I encountered this when I sold my Key FEF. The good part was that I got free shipping to my buyer. This was because It was the first time I sold under this new arrangment I had to wait for the funds till 24 hours after delivery of the item, this made me nervise, but the funds were avaliable aft...

Well Bod this should be interesting. Its a nice Loco, but it does have spindly legs.

Thanks Bob that was what I was worried about that it was 1764 Scale and the tender if 1/4 Scale would be all wrong, your suggestion sounds like the way to go. It currently won’t go, so some work to do.

This is what you call love and devotion, next comes satisfaction! Love it, Thanks for the story.

Thanks Bob for the picks and info. Mine has a typical Lobaugh frame, I’m guessing the Prat has a solid cast frame, drilled for axles? The details are lost wax, with sand cast boiler front, the cylinders are cast but quite plain, but with nickel silver cylinders ( Central Loco Works maybe? )It appear...

I Purchased a Lobaugh 0-6-0 on the bay, unfortunetly with out the tender ( what is it about splitting up steam locos into two ) I had to wait patiently for my daughter to make a trip down under to Aussy with the three grand kids.( her husband flys for United and so that happens more often now ). So ...

I agree selling prices are all you can really go on.

Okay first thanks for the help, second the model is definitely Key loco ,number as on the side of the cab 839 fine lettering under the cab number FEF 3-80 270B. There’s one on the bay right now same number in grey for $3000.00 but the eBay price is not always right. Lastly remember Im in Aussy land ...

Butch the difficulty is sending you some pics, I dont have a host currently.

I need some advise Ive come into a Key UP FEF and I have a KTM vershion which Im happy with. SO Im going to sell it on the Bay. The queston is whats a realistic price to ask for it, a selling price not a sit there for ever price. Its in good nick in the Grey, its missing its elephant ears unfortunet...

Id like to see or even do, If I had another Scale Craft 2-8-2, Bobs 2-10-2 mode with a 1600 class ( or 2-10-10-2 ) Turtule back tender, love thouse tenders, not sue it would be correct thou,I dont think Id care thou.

It all started with Dave Reece from Bluerail, he then liecenced to Backmann, Bunami etc The truth is Blutooth can do anything DCC can do, without DCC. But then some venders have grate sound fills etc
