[joebyboby]

where can i get one

[nitromethane12007]

It no longer sell anymore in Aster.  You need to find used one somewhere, sorry.

[paullubliner]

You do mean "steam locomotive" right? The train is what follows the engine or am I misinformed? Mountaineer 405-- nix the NYO&W 402!

[nitromethane12007]

Or you can call it "small steam locomotive" as well as "miniature engine" like that.

[NYOWRR402]

who was it made by? the parts? or did you make them or soemthing?

[nitromethane12007]

Aster Hobby USA is that one who made them. I didn't made something in them. Everything are ready for assembly and run.

[badboylll]

Your friend better of paid you good money! lol

[nitromethane12007]

That's true! However, built it last and then there will be no longer paying me... :(

[badboylll]

yeah, what I would do to get one of those! Anything that is or says Allegheny, I love dearly!

[ilkjdsflkfj]

Those are awesome, i have so many questions! how do you control the steam, do you have to just kinda catch it as it comes by? Where can i get a kit at?

[nitromethane12007]

Control by the throttle on inside cab includes water gauge, pressure gauge and some valves for blower and general turbine. I building the H8 engine for my friend, so he knows where to find it.

[badboylll]

I am also intrested in it. How much did it cost? Where can I buy one?

I am in love with Allegheny's.

[nitromethane12007]

Cost at $27,000 per kits. Aster Hobby USA SOLD-OUT all of H8 Allegheny - Sorry.

[nitromethane12007]

Control steam by watch in the cab, chase as it running and close throttle valve to stop runs, etc.. It's not that difficultly.

[Inuyasha4lif]

[nitromethane12007]

From Aster Hobby USA but it SOLD-OUT. Sorry.

[steved0689]

What were the numbers on the boxes meaning?? Parts??

[nitromethane12007]

These numbers are matched with the paper of instructions for assembled the engine.

[steved0689]

So how long did it take you to construct this model???

[nitromethane12007]

It took me 2 to 3 days a week for 8 months to completed built a thousand parts all together to make H8 Allegheny in Bay Area, California. A man's older bro bought a $27,000 Kits from Washington D.C., so after H8 runs beautiful, packed it and send out to D.C. Thanks for your interested. Mitch

[steved0689]

THAT MODEL IS JUST HUGE!!!! How could I ever afford that?? LOL!!!!

[nitromethane12007]

Yep - H8 is really a HUGE steam engine ever I built for Gauge 1. Price is skyrocket, though.

[steved0689]

I'm also guessing that this model is HEAVY!!! How much does it way, approximately???

[nitromethane12007]

Approx. at 20 pounds as you can split tender off and lift it off the track by hands with no problem.

[nitromethane12007]

Yeah! Grin, my friend who can afford that for his pleasure and fun hobby ever he have it!! Worth to play it really!!!

[BigUnitBeef]

Very nice....
