Seems a reasonable starting bid.

I think it is most likely scratch built. I don't recognize the tender at all, and while the tender could be an early import, it seems to me that surely the chassis is not an early import. I know the seller.

Well that boiler looks very similar to the CLW PRR H10 one I have. But the tender is unfamiliar.

Think about the fee for the exorcist before you bid.

Hi Carey,

Don't think the eBay one is the same. The rods look thinner and the middle sets of drivers are flanged. Very similar as I guess it would have to he as they are both supposed to me a model of the same locomotive, PRR H-10.

I am with Steve - a very good scratchbuilt. I forget who - John Page? - in the 1950s built one in the pages of MRR.

The CLW. Model has been around since forever - 1940? And remained almost the same until Smith changed the frame and went to plastic drivers. Big cast boiler!

If it is the John Page model I'd have to be bidding!

hello all ... I found an illustration of H-10 construction series in MR 1954 .... not the same engine .... engine in MR , Saginaw /CLW all have an open frame under cab ..... ebay model is solid ..

MR article describes the tender issue .....big tender west of Pittsburgh ...little tender east ( Long Island RR etc ) ...

perhaps the MR article inspired the builder of the one found on ebay ....

Cheers Carey

That's a very rare Mal Thornbush engine with a Clinepoof drive and a Maxon tender.

What, you've never seen one before?

That's because they are very rare...antique...collectible...
