Greetings,
Any of you out there own a Old Time Consolidation 2-8-0?
How do they run?
I see them on Ebay all the time for a good price.
Mark in Texas
They run very poor. The motor is basically a slot car motor and it is mounted in the tender and drivers the tender wheels and pushes the actual engine. I bought one and found this out the hard way!
The one I have runs very well, it was made in Brazil. It is tender drive.
It is a pretty good model of a 1890-1900 Baldwin, except the tender is on the larger size, and the drive is not well hidden.
Check Trainworld, they had better than typical ebay pricing on them.
