" incomplete but has promise".....

More honest than most of these listings you have been posting......almost refreshing, :wink:

Many years ago 15?, I listed a Lobaugh Greenbrier that had massive smoke box damage but could be repaired. The mechanism was flawless and ran like a watch. The tender was complete Nd no parts were missing. Posted no pictures and listed it for 1150. Not 11.50. but 1150.

I could not believe it but it sold. The buyer gave me a five star rating for accurately describing the item. He had been looking for a greenbrier for a few years.

That was, and is, impressive for a Greenbrier.

Not sure, of course, but I think the rusty wheel Challenger might be a better deal. Both have defective rear frame (easily fixed) but the earlier one has a firebox and at least some tender parts.

If you scroll through the pictures I think you might find that all of the tender might be present in this one.
