I am looking for either a Rivarossi O gauge Reno or Genoa locomotive. Does anybody have one they would like to sell? I want one for my O gauge Layout. thanks.
You might want to post this over in the Model Railroader forum as well, since I believe that the locomotives were two-rail.
Lima also did some 2 rail O gauge you might want to check for that also. Have seen them pop up on ebay from time to time
i know they are 2 rail, i want one to use one as a locomotive on display.
I’ll have to check that out, thanks
There basically European design but have electric/diesel/ steam
If all you want to do is display, look for the unmotored kit, whether still in box or built. They will not cost as much–the powered locos are pretty pricey these days given the their relatively cheap construction.
thats true, but they are hard to come by.
If you are going to get oneget one without a motor and display it. Many years ago I bought an AHM Casey Jones Ten Wheeler. The whole engine was plastic. the motor was honestly about the size of a walnut. I put in a lot of work adapting it to run on Gargraves three rail track. On its maiden run it travelled about six feet then a column of smoke rose from that itty bitty motor and the boiler backhead softened and deformed. It went on the shelf until a buddy traded some HO for it. My advice is don’t get your hopes up. Odd-d
Trainz has 2 for one bid on E-Bay. Current bid is $36.00. Don’t know if they are the Reno or Genoa or if they are operable.
thanks, i tried bidding but of course i was outbid. i’ll try again on the last day.
