Someone else's boiler explosion

[ScaleCraft]

and note: No chassis.

That one is hopeless. At least the Lobaugh has enough thickness to sink rivets and screws into the reinforcements. What a waste!

[ScaleCraft]

sold for $20.00
Tender and detail parts probably made out okay.

Can't tell how nicely it was assembled, but the details/parts I see are worth $20.

[bob turner]

Agree. Plus 1.

[ScaleCraft]

I know who got it. Look for it at an on-line auction near you.

[up148]

Yeah, probably after then soak it in vinegar or something to remove most of the powder corrosion. Online auctions are a great place to get screwed if you don't know what you're doing.

[bob turner]

Maybe the eBay offering will show the tender. A good import tender with sprung trucks ought to bring $150. Save the domes and castings and pitch the boiler - cannot save it.

Even if you DO know what you're doing.
Look at the pix, read the description....and no motor, gearbox or screws when it gets here!

How about "MINT! 1923 Lionel Standard Gauge!" and when you get it it's MTH...

Woody couldn't leave anything alone, so no telling what you get.
