1st one seems odd in its proportions.

2nd would be interesting were it not in such sad shape

Both overpriced, yet the 2nd does have a bid on it so someone sees value in it. Winter is coming...

#1 might be fairly rare. Too Bad Trainz cannot hire a photographer with some basic knowledge of the edit function. #2 appears to be a Saginaw H10, quite salvageable and well-priced.
Opinion.

#2.....I would be afraid to see what the front of that tender looks like once the salt water corrosion (Florida) is blasted down.

Odd valve gear (observation).
Hanger for outside, no eccentric, some kind of block holding valve rod up.

Cannot see a motor nor worm.

Need to drill and file front cab windows before proceeding.

More than I want to attack!

But if you want PRR early steam, looks like a good starting point, and priced well for now (at one bid).

#1 is a model of CB&Q #5632 when it was painted gold. A prototype photo from May 24, 1964: Railpictures.net #501173

Their photos can be quite telling -- they recently listed an OMI diesel with bent railings. The handrails were perfectly straight in the first photo and bent inward in the last photos. One of the middle photos was of the unit positioned on its side; I assume that's when the bending happened.

I agree. If it ends up selling for $99, the buyer could disassemble it, clean it up and sell the parts individually for $200+
