Lobaugh mentions the new Challenger Dec 1938 and adds photo of the engine Jan 1939.
Open gearing ...which would become enclosed in 1940.
Neat double gear reduction..type seen on Alexander engines .
Please see link for action video of engine running on the bench

What does that weigh? Assuming it is a brass cast boiler! keep us posted!!
Hello bolier is sheet brass ..most the weight in the chassis .. it is not going to have any traction issues
what is that giant old book with those pictures of the trains that you show in some of your videos
and HOW do you find these things and what would it take for me to build a vintage o scale layout to run stuff like that ?
i've been fascinated by old trains like that for years
do you live in a mansion or something?
Hello ..
The "book" in the video ..is a bound volume of Model Railroader 1939...
Important to have all the old magazines for researching .
No mansion here ..just a humble home ..basement is only 22x 26' +-.would be nice if a bit bigger ...but one needs to work within the foundations. Fortunate to have what I have .
There is an amazing amount of interesting old stuff out there ...just look and you shall find .. plenty for everyone...
