Hines and Lobaugh mashup

[bob turner]

This one is described as gorgeous. I submit that it could be made into a nice model, but it would take disassembly and a skilled torch operator. Check out the starting bid - over $700.

No and No!

Way overpriced with lousy edited cell phone photos that do nothing to help.

Got some GMC/All-Nation in it, too. Lead truck, looks like loco bottom cover.
The green tint...either lousy editing or corrosion?

Sure that's not one of Turners? Tender trucks off the track are a hallmark, are they not?

Same seller, same proud of his junk pricing.
Asking about a hundred with economy shipping at 40.
Makes each one costing about four times the most I ever spent for one of those.

Oh, well.

same guy. NOBODY pays $55 for one of these....yes, has ONE pickup roller and probably light...flicker on switches....yes, has window insert....NO end ladders, NO underfloor toolboxes, NO rear coupler.....does have intact roof corners. $7.50 at a train show, no $15 economy shipping....makes this $70.
