This engine was custom built for
the “Chairman of the Board” of a Cincinnati based Machine Tool Company, to run
around his family residence. The railroad has
8%+grades so it was designed with a very good “fail safe” (if cars became
uncoupled, the brakes would come on independently of other units) brake
system. It ran approx 3-4 times a year for family picnics & corporate social
events. It has been in dry enclosed storage for the last 3 years, w/engine
rotated manually once a month for lubrication. I am looking thru my records
for the completion date of the engine, but is 10 years old for sure.
Its owner
has appointed me to act as her agent to locate a new owner, as I participated
in the building and running of the rail road, the engine & the cars. I am presently involved in cleaning the engine, performing
a yearly hydro test and inspecting the equipment. It
is all cosmetic at this stage. Pictures shown are
after a run, not cleaned with a few present day photos also. I do not think
she will separate the riding car and or coach from the engine…but?
Price for the Engine, Riding car, and Coach is $18,500
The equipment is located in
Cincinnati, Ohio area. I have more digital photos, many more still photos,
construction of boiler, etc. I can answer just about
any question about the equipment, since I helped build it.
This is
engine is in very good to excellent condition, one hell of a steamer
