Besides the prototype lineage, seen this stuff before. International? Horrible.
Details? we don't need no stinkin' details.

Three-rail, typical center-mount pickup under tender between trucks.

His decimal place is wrong.

By Jove, I think you've nailed it Dave!

Even rarer:

I have a similar 0-8-0 (I think) made of scrap soldered galvanized sheet metal. In #1 scale.
Waiting for the builder to die before I pitch it. Unusable.

This one, methinks, is close to that. I am enamoured of the hand punched rivets in the tender sides, and the exquisite soldering shown, all mounted on a masterfully created wood floor.

The nices touch is the stove black spray paint job over everything, includin driver tires.

“What a piece of junk!”

“She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.”

Yeah that price is pretty crazy, but I will say the seller does have some interesting European 3 Rail tinplate stuff that you don't normally see a lot.
Also some nice Suydam and Ken Kidder stuff too.

And most of the prices are pretty crazy - at least the seller is consistent.

I'm a bit surprised no one jumped on the PRR Hudson thing. I don't recall the P-Company having any Hudsons.....and judging by the look, I don't think there is much brass there (meaning the shells).... the thing has a real tinplate look.

It's that "prototype lineage" deal.......since it's lineage is NYC, the PRR probably wouldn't even allow it on their rails....
