Yeah, the light tarnish ate away some of the frame.

So Peter, how much dynamite will it take for this "blast" ?

Well there's two bids on it, so someone will find out. It's an interesting question, how much bead blast would it take? Eat away the more marginal parts of the frame in the process etc. at some point you're into wet sanding and splicing brass strip, channel and plate with a res iron, might be fun if you didn't have anything better to do.

yikes.... "Danger Will Robinson!"

[Jay Criswell]

Says it has discoloration. That's like saying Yul Brynner had thinning hair.

There are five different bidders now and they have bid it up to $7.

That would make a neat restoration article for the O Scale Resource (hint, hint).

My financial manager is balking at the astronomical bid of $7 US , but it would be good for representing a wreck or maybe mounted on a "concrete" pad as a stationary tank.

Maybe a cat peed on it?

The fix is, of course, some of that $48 Floquil paint.

Long time ago I bought a New Sunset USRA Light 2-8-2 from a hobby shop. When It was delivered, it was so bad and he would not take a return, I used it to model a boiler explosion.

10 bids on it - would make an interesting scenery item - drop it in a ravine, add scenery, and forget about it.

"over weathered"

Depending on how far away, it might have been inspiration for a trip.

If it happened these days, you could "offer" to post pictures of it on the net and attribute them to that weasel. Never ceases to amaze how many low-lifes are out there.

The bidding, brisk as it is, still has not passed the shipping cost!

Be curious to see what it does sell for!!??

It has reached the rarefied air of double figures!

I find NO fault with this one (the auction that is, not the item ) ......pics show exactly what you are getting.
