I wasn't going to buy any more AF steamers right now but I could not resist this ebay purchase.
A 312 for 29.99 plus free shipping. And it is complete. Paint not good but it could have been repainted.
If nothing else I could use it for parts. I need some handrails for my keeper 312. Tender would have made a nice
aux. tender. 29.99 is like paying 18.00 for it and 12.00 shipping. Seller cancelled the order. He sent me a
message saying it was not suppose to be free shipping. Not my problem but he cancelled. I guess I could buy it and pay shipping but desire for it has waned.

Sounds like maybe seller's remorse...beforehand. Or he got offered more from someone locally. I bet you're better off without it.

He said he didn't know how Free Shipping got on there. He just didn't check his ad before he posted it.
When I was selling on ebay I would have just ate it. Especially if someone had bought it. Fire, he sounds like
an idiot and you are probably right. He told ebay the item was no longer available, he told me he didn't want to give
away the shipping.

  2. K5 Jewels?

    S Scale
    I was wondering if the K5's originally came with jewels or were painted? I have a couple of beat up engines and tenders and they all have a hodge-podge of paint and/or jewel configurations.

  3. Painting the white stripe on a locomotive

    S Scale
    When I am cruising ebay, a nice white stripe on a steam engine, really catches my eye. One of my last purchases was a K335 I got for a good price. It has a weak white stripe. Its a little scary slapping white paint on an engine, but I wanted to try it. Instead of trying to find my K335 I grabbed...
