From an ad on another platform, There was a GMC Pacific in a wood Hines box, and a Hines tender pictured in another shot of rolling stock ect.   All for $150.  Made the road trip and there was a WHOLE lot more.  Her late fathers collection from an operating layout that was taken down in the late 80's.  Sadly the track was ruined in a basement flood while stored, but the trains survived.   The rest of the Hines was there, a 2-8-2, passenger cars for the Pacific, more rolling stock, a GMC/AN NW2 with dual power trucks(early AN style with straight cut spur gears), AHM Casey Jones, IHB 0-8-0 and a pair of C liners.  A whole tote of The Model Railroader dating from 1940 thru 1950(winter reading material!!), even the turn table.  I will probably sell or trade off the turn table.  I think most of the Bowser drive for it is there, I seen the can motor with gear reduction drive on it.  Gonna need a new pilot assembly for the GMC Pacific, zinc pest has gotten it.   AD.  Mtrip8Mtrip9Mtrip11Mtrip10Mtrip4Mtrip7Mtrip2Mtrip3Mtrip5Mtrip6Mtrip1Mtrip

I believe someone has parts for the GMC/All Nation locos.  She needs a few things but I think she will run again. The pilot beam/cowcatcher is ok, its the part that goes back into the brass frame rails and under the cylinders to hold them in place that zinc pest got.  The drivers use the same round nuts to keep them in place that Bassett Lowke used on UK tinplate O scale and gauge one locos, most drivers are loose from age/wear and I cant get the round nuts freed up.  I wonder if there was a tool made for these  The actual Hines loco(2-8-2) is running, waiting on some detail parts that needed a bit of JB weld to reattach them to cure.  And she goes around my 24" radius curves as well.  Plenty of fun stuff to give TLC and put back to use over the coming winter months.

It got Lionel in the 1930s on the earliest runs of the Scale Hudsons.  This model has the cast bronze boiler, so it might be prewar.  I wanna saw that after the war the boiler switched to sheet brass.  I think I can get the Pacific going again eventually.  Thats part of the fun, tinkering to get these old ladies going again.   AD
