I mean is it made by a company or is it scratch built.

Yes you can buy the basic structure. It is a Korber grain elevator that Just Trains makes. When I kit bashed this kit, Korber didn't offer these as a building flat. After they saw mine they started making them available this way. The stairs and shed are scratchbuilt.

Can you buy the grain elevator?

Hey. Are you happy with this engine? I have an opportunity to pick one up, but it's the most expensive engine I will have ever purchased. Good point, bad points? Was that a squeak I heard in the video? thanks. Mike

Hi Mike,

I do like this engine. The only thing that Lionel did wrong was to put that snap action switch buried down in the engine, so it is a PITA to change if it goes bad. The smoke is a little anemic compared to a MTH but I do love the sound! Yes you did hear a squeak. When I shot the video I hadn't had a chance to lube the wheel. It doesn't squeak anymore. If you can get it at a good price go for it.

It's on it's way. NIB delivered for $650. I must be nuts. I'm selling my 18045 Vandy and 2 williams passenger sets to offset the cost. I'm really looking forward to it.

That"s great, enjoy your engine!

I love this locomotive and layout scene!

ugh, i drool every time i look at it! beautiful! I have a question though, is your track weathered?

[csxal]

Yes the track is MTH Scaletrax and I weather it with Polyscale Imperial Japan Army Brown for the rust color.

Thanks,
