GN F-8 2-8-0 by Tenshodo.
Just acquired this engine on e-bay. Made in 1975 and, at most, just test run and, virtually, new with no visible wear on the wheels. Factory painted by Tenshodo: some errors as domes are all green, piping not painted black and, manufacturers always like to do this (put silver on the cylinder heads) as only the S-2 had this and no black stripe along the front of the belpair fire box. Easy fixes plus some dull coat. Most manufacturer's were adding can motors by mid 70's but easy add for this open frame motor engine.
Very reasonably priced at $235 (delivered), and you can't beat the detail that one gets on a brass engine.
Just ordered more scalecoat paint from minuteman so I'll be painting up the seven new engines acquired since last winter.
