Hello O scale world
Today we have a mystery Pacific steamer from the mid 1930's ..... I was hoping it was one of Ken Henry's or perhaps made from Ken Henry parts ..... under the over paint is B&O lettering .... Ken Henry was big with the
B&O ... and the President Washington was his initial offering ..... back in December of 1934 ...any ideas as to the maker of this oldie and goodie ? A bit of oil and voltage and she sprang to life ....happy to be rolling again clicky clack down the RR track .. she was happy pulling the 5 Miniscale Pullmans ( 25 pound train) ...till the tender coupler developed an issue just before the cameras began to roll . Fun getting the bricks to move ....lots of nice piping and she runs smooth ... ..have to try and get the over-paint off to save the lettering beneath . Unique brass shoe added on the standard speed cable 3rd rail pickup ... works well .. missing from tender (soon to be added)
