Project? Not hardly.

BIN at 175.

Non-salvageable. The flanges are eaten off the drivers. Corrosion deep into boiler, tender is toast, did you see the caboose roof?
2657 is pre-war only, box couplers usually, not PT-1's with knuckles.

Rolling stock flanges eaten away.
Side dump corroded into aluminum.
I thought 224E was pre-war, 45 and 46 was just 224. No box couplers. Missing trailing truck (probably rotted away). Pickup roller springs rotted away.

No redeeming value here that I can see. Opinion.

"Junk" would be a more adequate description. "Irretrievable", "garbage", "scrap", "beyond redemption" also come to mind.

$175? Oh pulease.

It's a little bit of work to make a listing on eBay. I guess people think it's worth trying to sell. should price it much much lower to get a sale and get something for your time. I guess people are desperate because of all the hype.

$0.99 would be optimistic
