AHM/RIVAROSSI MPN5092 2-8-8-2 USRA MALLET NORFOLK&WESTERN 2197-BARGAIN-FREE SHIP

Description: 10/31/24- BODY OF LOCOMOTIVE AND MATCHING TENDER CLEAN. WHEN PUT ON TEST TRACK HEADLIGHT COMES ON AND RUNS JERKY AND SLOW IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. SEE VIDEO. I BELIEVE ALL IT NEEDS IS A GOOD WHEEL AND ENGINE CLEANING PLUS LUBE AND OIL AND SHOULD RUN FINE. ATTENTION ALL BUYERS: I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF REQUESTS TO INDIVIDUALLY LIST BY ROAD NAMES THE REMAINDER OF MY LOCOMOTIVES THAT ARE FROM MY MAGIC TOOL BOX RATHER THAN IN GROUPS OF FIVE. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT MANY, IF NOT MOST MODELERS LIMIT THEIR LAYOUT TO ONE SPECIFIC LINE. IN RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST WE WILL GIVE IT A TRY. I WILL PUT THE ROAD NAME IN THE TITLE TO FACILITATE AN EBAY SEARCH. THE REMAINDER OF THIS DESCRIPTION WILL BE A CUT AND PASTE WITH A LITTLE EDITING FROM MY GROUP LISTINGS: MANY OF MY FELLOW EBAYERS/FOLLOWERS AND MODELERS KNOW I HAVE BEEN SELLING OFF MY ENTIRE PERSONAL HUGE COLLECTION FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AND I AM PROUD OF MY 100% FEEDBACK AND WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT REPUTATION. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN LISTING APPROXIMATELY 150+ STEAMS, DIESELS AND PASSENGER CARS THAT HAVE NO BOXES AND HAVE BEEN STORED IN THE DRAWERS OF AN EXTRA TOOL BOX IN MY WORKSHOP WHICH IS HEATED AND COOLED. I SUSPECT ALL OF THEM WERE PURCHASED AT VARIOUS TRAIN SHOWS MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO. TYPICALLY, I WOULD HAVE TESTED THEM AND INSPECTED THE BODIES BEFORE PURCHASE BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT IF ANY DAMAGE THEY MAY HAVE INCURRED OVER THE YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY HAVE BEEN PURCHASED WITH THOUGHTS OF DOING REPAIRS / RESTORATIONS AND I NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH OR JUST PURCHASED TO BE IN A PORTION OF A YARD THAT WAS FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES. THEREFORE, THIS IS AN "AS IS WITH NO RETURNS" LISTING. SAID ANOTHER WAY IS: "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET". I STRONGLY RECOMMEND INSPECTING ALL PICTURES VERY CLOSELY. I URGE YOU TO USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT AS TO THE COMPLETENESS OF THE BODIES. ANY ITEM WITH A COST OF $50 OR MORE OR ANY GROUP OF MORE THAN ONE (SHIPPED TOGETHER) TOTALING OVER $50 WILL HAVE FREE SHIPPING. AGAIN RELY ON THE PICTURES. IT IS TIME TO SPEED THINGS UP AND HOPEFULLY LISTINGS SUCH AS THIS WILL BE A "WIN-WIN" FOR MYSELF AND THE BUYER. THE MANUFACTURES WILL INCLUDE KATO, ATLAS, PROTO, LIFE LIKE, ATHEARN, AHM RIVAROSSI ETC. I AM NOT GOING TO PLACE THEM ON THE TEST TRACK, INCLUDE VIDEO OR INSPECT FOR ANY DAMAGE. WITH MINERAL SPIRITS. NO GUARANTEES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU STUDY THE PICTURES REGARDS ANY MISSING TRIM AND ALSO TO IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE. ANY LOOSE PARTS IF ANY WILL SHIP WITH LOCOMOTIVES AND BE PICTURED. EVEN THOUGH THESE HAVE BEEN IN CLOSED DRAWERS OVER THE YEARS I NOTED THAT MOST ARE DUSTY. I TOOK A Q-TIP AND THE DUST WAS EASILY REMOVED. IN THE INTEREST OF GETTING THESE ALL LISTED TIMELY I AM NOT GOING TO DUST ANY AND WILL LEAVE THAT TO THE BUYER. IF WEATHERED, I WILL PUT THAT IN TITLE. LASTLY, I WOULD STRONGLY URGE ALL BUYERS TO CLEAN, LUBE AND OIL ANY LOCOMOTIVE THEY PURCHASE BEFORE PLACING INTO SERVICE. MY WIFE AND I REALLY NEED TO MOVE ON TO THIS NEW CHAPTER OF OUR LIVES. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.
