For Sale

Little Engines 1.5” scale castings and plans for a pacific locomotive. All the critical castings that are needed at here, and the axle boxes have already been machined and have lubrication pads installed.

The items that come in the set are:

Set of plans to complete the engine
Single piece cast iron cylinder and saddle
6 spoked cast iron drive wheels
2 spoked cast iron trailing truck wheels
4 cast iron lead truck wheels
1 “continental spare” lead truck wheel (not machined right, but you can have it anyway)
6 driving axle journal boxes (machined)
2 (right and left) crossheads in bronze
2 (right and left) valve brackets in bronze
2 (right and left) crosshead brackets in bronze
2 lead truck frames in cast iron
Delta trailing truck frame in aluminum
Various frame spaces and other castings as seen in the picture
A few pieces of bar-stock I got with the castings
A half-wheel cast iron paperweight

I intended to actually work on these, but other things (life, magazine, kids) have gotten in the way, and I have the chance to get a collection I can’t pass up and need the room in the shop.

Asking $1700 for the whole thing.

1" scale Interurban Car and Truck Patterns

1" scale Interurban Car and Truck Patterns
This is the body of a Pacific Electric wooden box motor of the 1450 class. The wooden car body has two doors on each side that move, and there is ample space for batteries inside. It looks as if the side boards are individually applied and the windows are glazed. There are bars on the windows for the cab doors and door handles too. There is also lots of room for a bell, horn, and control board. The car body measures about 46” long, 10” high, and 9 ½” long. There is also a wooden pilot for each end that can accommodate radial couplers or regular couplers.

Also part of the sale is the truck and wheel patterns for the correct trucks. The pattern is metal and will stand a lot of use, if you want to make the trucks commercially or let a friend use it.

But just like an infomercial – “Wait, there’s more!” I also have the pattern for a PCC truck side frame that will come with the box motor. I personally like this side frame better, but it’s yours to choose. And if you call now, there is also a casting that can be used as a pattern for an arch bar interurban truck that I will include as well.

Why am I getting rid of the project? I have an opportunity for a historic 1” scale collection and need space in my shop. It’s that simple.

Asking $550, but open to offers. Buyer to pay crating and shipping, or pick up in Sacramento area. Also willing to drop off at GGLS Open House later this month as well. If you’re interested, please contact me using the form below.
