I still need to get some pics. Will try to take and post later today. Winter has come to Missouri already.
34 out there right now. Stupid.

Sorry, I forgot. Need to show the engine and a few passenger cars. Not going to show the track, we all know what track looks like. And I think that is it. Engine needs a little work. Cross bar under cab is missing. Seems to be a common problem with K5s. Prongs are comming out of plug on engine. Never seen that before. I don't know if I can fix it or have to get another plug. Paint is nice. Not much wear and tear on it. I am just so far behind on repairs. Need to get all engines running good and get rid of some. I think sometimes i just like to buy MORE. I have 6 really nice Northerns. I
have 2 332AC, 2 K335, and 3 336. Don't need 2 of each. There are people out there that don't have any Northern.
I could use the money.

Great price. I will be wanting more than that for mine. You got a deal. Does it have
large motor?

 

[mopac]

200 is a deal. Thanks. I have 6 northerns and not a one has pul mor tires. Just my luck.
Good luck with a sale.

I hear it is the best repair manual. Glad to have it. Tom told me the street lights were Marx. They are cool. I don't know
what years they were made. Heavy metal. They look like from 20s and 30s to me. I will set them next to a station.

 

[mopac]

I sure missed the years on the street lights.

Finally got some pics of the loco in the big heavy box from Many Cool Toys. Nice paint
cab numbers and tender lettering. Everything there except the cross bar under the cab that the tender hooks up to. Not my only K5 with that missing.

Another problem I will have to look into is I always turn the armature when I get a new to me loco. I can get a full rotation of the drivers, but there are 2 spots that is hard to turn. Eyeballing the drivers they look fine. Maybe it is
the linkage. I will take all the rods off and see. Well that won't work. The wheels need to be connected. Maybe take the eccentric linkage loose. I really doubt the owner had the wheels off.

Tom, as you know the sun is different this time of year. It was sunny, but sun was on other side of loco instead of behind me. But I thought good enough to post.

Only thing left to show are the passenger cars. I have a K5 cross bar here somewhere. I bought one or two of them.
I really like the K5s. Still no layout. Not sure what I am waiting for.

 

[mopac]

Thanks for your confidence, but don't bet all your money. I just wing it on this stuff. I have
just enough knowledge to be dangerous. I guess I should start with all rods off and go from there.
Thanks. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks Yard King.

I still need to take and post pics of the rest of stuff in the big heavy box sent by Many Cool Toys.
Maybe 4 passenger cars and the turnouts. I wanted to finish them today but rain and clouds last couple
days. No sun. That was very generous of Many Cool Toys. Some nice stuff. I told him I would try to get a video
of the train running after I get it running. I have not tried to run it yet. Might need a new tender harness and its been packed away for years. Will shoot for sat or sunday. Yes, I am slow.

 

[mopac]

I will try to finish pics today of contents of my big heavy box from
Many Cool Toys. There was more passenger cars than I thought.
Todays pics are all passenger cars.

First is 2 Silver cars. One plastic and one metal shell cars.
960 Aluminum car

Plastic shell with green stripe. 962

 

[mopac]

2 650s and a 718. 2 of these cars have been converted to transition cars

 

[mopac]

A 735. Has all the doors. Some are open.

 

[mopac]

There is a large baggie with 6 or 7 uncouplers. Some powered and some manual. And 3 or 4
control boxes. All in nice condition. Well thats all of the pics. There was a couple nice turnouts
with controller and rainbow wire. And a bunch of track. Again big thanks to Many Cool TOys.
A very generous offer.

 

[mopac]

No station.
