They are kind of rare. I always wanted one, but mine would have to be 17/64. I doubt many were imported.

Isn't a good Kleinschmidt drive worth about what the rest of the model is worth?

I had a friend who modeled the SF and back in the 90's those locos were hard to find and very expensive. Poorly painted models IIRC brought upwards of $2000. Not sure where the market is today, but that is a beautiful model.

I missed the KES drive. I think it will go for a lot more than where it is now.

A scarce and seldom seen item with the KES drive yet.....

But, I'm more interested in this

I don't think I've ever seen one before - MG made an R-2?
Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.

I've read somewhere (most likely "O Scale News 48/ft") that Max did some one of's for people
