Five dollar parts loco

"The train engine has not been tested and we are selling the engine as is non-working(will need some cleaning/maintenance). The engine does have some wear, some paint wear, and missing one of the side "Decor" wires. Item also has some rust."

Can't have an engine missing a "decor" wire, now, can we?

Cab roof bent. Paint is gone. Wrong screw holding valve gear in place. Class lights both snapped off.
Stack is horribly corroded. Not to mention RUST!
And "not working".

They expect someone to actually pay them $78.74 for it?

Uh...no.

But slow-boat shipping is free!

So sad. Normally a nice loco.

The one "decor" wire is also broken/missing pieces. The flip side is also missing the cotter pin stand offs that normally hold the "decor" wire.

Unreal. Five bucks in a junk box at a train show.

Generous unless you are getting the $5 to take it.
Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have created or made.
