Up for auction on EBay until August 15, 2011 is a near-mint condition K-Line UP Big Boy (4-8-8-4).
Auction link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150648515710
I acquired this engine at an estate auction and just don't have room on my layout, unfortunately. The engine shows little wear on the wheel treads, indicating that it has not been run extensively. The wheel tires are in extremely good condition and show no signs of age.
The engine and tender are fully die-cast and weigh approximately 14 pounds. The detailing is extremely well-done with some hand-applied details and legible builder plates.
The engine features:
TrainMaster (TMCC) and RailSounds
Conventional control compatible
Working Headlight and Backup Light
Operating Smoke Unit
Working Firebox illumination
Operating (w/Sound) rear coupler
Operates on O-31 and larger curves
i like it!
