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.
Very nice loco..............
Here are two pictures poles apart.
Have a great day for non-retirees it is the weekend!
