I particularly like the "HORNS"! Perhaps we could find an O Scale matador figure to stand by the track! :mrgreen:

Made from a pair of Thomas 2-8-0's..... I'd rather have the 2 Thomas 2-8-0's, :wink:

It looks pretty rough. But the price is not all that bad,compared to some. There are hobbyists who would pay a hundred bucks for a Thomas mechanism. Check out the price on that All Nation articulated. Arguably it is worth more than this one, but I am with Dave - there is no AN locomotive anywhere worth much more than $300.

Here. $200 worth of drivers. Same prototype, I think. Locomotive is 17/64, tender is whatever I grabbed from the unpainted pile.
