parts loco

While the price isn't bad, and somehow includes he elusive factory tender, the seller seems to have gone out of his way with angles and focus to A) show condition and B) Hide that condition.
Cab roof appears to be bent down and virtually flat at the back.

I can just see someone complaining and seller states "Condition shown in photos".

Unless you have another shell........

How much is the motor and the rest of the usable parts worth. ??

That's why I said "The price isn't bad".

You could buy this and part it out, make a buck or two.
Or, you could buy it, get it delivered, and find the cab roof is bent (ever try to straighten pot metal?) THEN become a reluctant seller of bits to recoup your investment.

There's always folks who must want loose tenders, since evilbait sellers always split the engine and tenders for more PROFIT!

If you HAD a good boiler, missing everything else, this is probably a good deal.
