[btflco]

This locomotive is still for sale at a reduced price. There is nothing wrong with it.

The cylinders need a constant supply of oil administered in small amounts like a mechanical or hydrostatic lubricator. Pumping a few pumps of steam oil at the beginning floods the cylinders and then quickly runs out allowing the valves and cylinders to score and no longer seal. Having the fire go out at 140 psi allows cold air to be drawn into the firebox and the thermal shock to the boiler and tubes can cause sheets to crack and tubes to leak. when running there should always be a fire

if still for sale please email me at daniel.charlebois27@hotmail.co­m

[bcschmerker]

Nice briefing here. What modifications were needed to the firebox burners for Diesel #2? Most oil-fired steamers use fairly heavy fuel oils.

Thanx. I'm definently interested, but it'll probably take me a while to get THAT kind of money together... If you get another offer, go ahead and sell it. But I'll try to see what I can get.

@btflco I have no email address or an actual computer. I am writing through the use of an iPod touch. I would email you if I could, tho. Do you have an asking price, or is it a private matter for those of us with an interest in the loco?

[btflco]

@99mxylptlk

$28,500 is the selling price.

[steve98326]

This Crown was NOT built in 1956. They didn't start building any trains until about 1958. This one was more likely built between 1960 and 1965. I'm sorry to see that it has been converted to diesel - shouldn't really be called "steam" locomotive anymore, should it?

[btflco]

@marylandbluejay

The 1956 is a typo and the locomotive uses diesel fuel to make steam. It is STILL at steam locomotive.

[marylandbluejay]

Ah, gotcha. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Good luck with your sale of the engine. I'd love to own one myself if I could!

[edringle]

how much is it selling for.

[ramonnie007]

Why did they convert it into diesel??

Coal is much more fun!

[dcorry61]

Just a small note. Crown didn't start building 15" gauge steam locomotives until 1959. The first one was sold to Gaylon Borders in Flora, il 1959.

[btflco]

You are correct. The Canadians from whom we purchased the locomotive from., attached their own builders plate stating the locomotive was built in 1957, yet I used to ride behind the first Crown when it was in California. Thanks!
