RF&P 4-8-4 by Fujiyama.
Another, at most, test run engine. Again, didn't even have a coupler attached to the tender.
Made in 1976 and very well made. Has lots of detail (see below pictures).
It is noisy so I'll be putting in a Tenshodo 48:1 quiet gear box along with the usual LED's in headlight (engine/tender), marker lights, cab, lights under the running board and a red fire box.
A few parts were broken off. Injector assembly and one generator and screw for draw bar was inside the boiler.
Injector soldered back under cab. No extra solder needed, just flux and resistance soldering.
Bracket for generator also loose.
Nice cab detail. I believe two runs of this engine was done.
This 1976 (latest) run has the extra air tanks below the cab.
Nice shiny drivers.
Frame is already painted so it will be left 'as is' to show it's 'heritage'.
The 1976 run was numbered on the retaining plate.
Lots of piping.
Even the oil lines are on the trailing and leading trucks: pretty 'heady' for 1976.
Lots of air hoses.
Also, has hex head side rod screws.
Unusual looking tank. Don't think I've ever seen one like this on another railroad.
Oil lines on leading trucks.
Lanyard to the whistle and lagging stays.
The reason I bought it: multi-colored paint scheme
