Hey Guys,
I am looking on the Bay at a Williams by Bachmann 20096 Erie 2032 FA-2 O-27 set. It is the powered unit and the dummy. It is used. ( I like these units better than the older Lionel equivalent, because the roller assemblies are far apart.)
One of the pictures shows the underside of the Bachman units, including the roller assemblies.
I note that the roller assemblies on the right hand side of the picture are shiny metal, looking almost new, but those on the left hand side of the picture are a mottled metal color, darker and quite different.
Is this normal? Is this zinc pest or something? Any ideas?
Mario's has these sets NIB on sale at a very nice price, but understandably higher than this used set. Don't know whether to bite the bullet and pay the higher price for a NIB. (I would have to hide it until Christmas, and that is a LONG way off!)
Also, a question for anybody that may have one of these sets. Both the powered and dummy units have speakers on the underside. Is one speaker for the horn, and the other for a bell or something? I think these are Proto Sound II.
Thanks for all comments.
