Here's another "deal and a half".........!!!!!

Me too - a much better proportioned model. If Max made them out of decently heavy brass they would be nice to have.

Carey - just noticed your comment about the rarity of the Consolidation - are you lusting after one or just making an observation as to rareness?

[Carey Williams]

Hello Bob


Lust would be too strong of a word for any Consolidation .. a Consolidation in the steam world, is a girl with a good personality .. I save the lust word for the Walthers & Alexander streamlined steam engines of 1939.

Sure a Thomas Consolidation is on the want list .... ... I have yet to see one in the flesh ( brass & steel + zarmac ) but I'm new to this game ...

Seems to be a good number of the Thomas 040's and 440's out in the world ...

Do you know of one that is available ?

Thank you Cheers Carey

I'll e-mail you.

Here is a dirtbag photo. This is not "stock"; those rods came from elsewhere, and the cylinder block is off a Pacific or something. Plus, no motor or tender, or pilot. Still, a nice, uncorroded example.

Flux Capacitor in the boiler will do that.

Maybe some super-duper glue.
