Fleischmann 105/1

Got this on eBay for a BIN of $50, thought it was a good deal, but when it arrived, it had some small issues, such as some small amounts of overspray on all general parts, some parts more than this. I bought it though because it had it's chimney and burner, but as you can see the chimney is not there because the chimney support was de-soldered, but i knew that when buying the item. I have since polished it, and gingerly used steel wool to take off the overspray, and then used denatured alcohol. When i bought the engine, i knew the whistle handle was off, but it turns out it was snapped off, rather than unscrewed (Fleischmann whistle handles are threaded), but luckily it was snapped off in the closed position. A good engine, not powerful by any means, but i knew it wasn't, and I didn't plan for it to power generators anyway lol.
