Let's see what junk we can drag out from under the workbench and throw together for more PROFIT!

Burner will like the wide open spaces under the boiler...with a vertical motor on #1 driver.
Trailing truck is Lionel....mounted backwards. Varney/A-N drivers....neat valve gear pointing back towards the cab...

What isn't broken seems to be A) poorly thought out, B) poorly executed, and C) poorly maintained.

Just look at the shipping.
Exceeds value by a bunch.

Turner.

errrr...

Opinion.

PS: Peter, I'm not implying the stuff I post is any better! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The photos are so bad it's hard to tell for sure. But:

It ALMOST appears to be a Lionel 726/736 boiler, heavily ground down and modified (turret cover?) and parts added.
Would explain the 726/736 rear truck.

Odd.

As long as evilbait makes their PROFIT they don't care one bit.

Do you know how many times a classic car is offered for sale, photos are of someone's car on the forums I am on....snagged and obviously a scam...and try to get evilbait to DO something about it?
They.
Don't.
Care.

How do you retract a bid? Why bid in the first place? $.99 seems fair but the shipping cost kills it for me. I retract my bid!
