Max Grey-All Nation???

I’m kinda new to the vintage stuff but this caught my eye. We’re MG and All Nation ever together or is this guy hedging his bets?

Early MG. Zero A-N. With the switch, shown in the cab roof, most likely a unversal universal motor. No lost wax castings, all turnings or sand cast. Un-blackened frame, nearly pizza cutter flanges on the wheels. It will probably outlast all of us.

Brass buying rule #1: If you have to ask what it is, you probably shouldn't buy it.

Add to that NO tender. But then you may have masochistic tendencies!

Additional cautionary note- same buyer is listing one of those IMP JNR box-motors (that Rufus periodically features) as "KTM-MG-AN" as well.
At least he admits he really doesn't know much about this stuff, though I'm aware there's a fairly straight connection with IMP to KTM/MG.

I like the look of those drivers on that 4-8-4 anyway, looks like an AT&SF prototype from the front, but starting bid is.... whew.....

I see a tender.

I guess I got bored before I got to the tender. Really didn't need to see a tender to decide: Nope!

Yes, those were KTM products, and his is grossly overpriced by my values..........yet, as I state that I also see these selling at what I also consider to be overpriced numbers. Clearly their attraction has increased....... I also expect that with the conclusion of my current project that I am done with my interest in these IMP products.
