Gag me

Postby ScaleCraft » Mon Sep 21, 2020 3:03 pm

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-Custom- ... 4717873175

So, here's a good idea. Let's destroy a Lionel 646. Grind and fill, then use 80 grit sandpaper to "finish it for painting". Pay special attention to the steam dome while we're at it. And taper the boiler WAY down as it approaches the smokebox, too, and that Belpaire shape.

Not even sure it started life as a 646 as claimed.
Compare:

Again, any shipping would exceed value, unless you need this for the section of your museum to show how NOT to do it.

It's a Bellaire, not a Belpaire, that's why it's so rare.

Wouldn't know, personally, altho I have read that it's more difficult to keep the leather clean.
Amazing the extraneous data one can find on the algore.
