Driven by a little old lady on weekends

Postby ScaleCraft » Thu Oct 01, 2020 1:56 pm

to a Destruction Derby.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vtg-19 ... 3373205415

Plastic shell, plastic worthless clamshell motor block, no tender, "cowcatcher" broken off (part of shell, making shell useless), I think seller wants close to $200 for the dirt he was too lazy to clean off.
Plus both class lights snapped off, and headlight lens fractured to the point of trash.
These things are $5 in a junk box at train shows.
Only thing usable for me is main rods (used elsewhere).
Plus nine bucks to ship, Shipping alone is about double value.

Even the Australians are crazy:

A bit better cosmetic shape than mine, maybe. I think I paid $40 for mine (although it was a bucket of parts when I got it). Nope, I take that back...crumbling wheels, headlamp, pantograph crushed, and other issues.

From the look of the marks on the remaining bits of the drivers, they ran this until the flanges fell off.

$AU200? Uh, no.
