Title: Another ebay bargain.
Post by: Zephyrus52246 on February 22, 2019, 08:56:07 PM
In November I picked up a CB&Q loco at a good price on ebay.  This week I got another.  A K-2 4-6-0 made by Nickel Plate Products.  It looks to be in pretty good shape for being 45 years old.  It has a can motor and runs pretty smoothly.  And for $155 bucks it's a bargain.  Someday I may get brave enough to paint it.  Over the years in brass, except for switchers, there hasn't been much "small steam" (2-8-2 or smaller) made for the CB&Q.  It's nice to have some smaller motive power for The Empire.

Nice buy my friend. I just can't bring myself to start using ebay again or I would be bidding against you.
