S-gauge York finds - show us what you got!

Nice.  What running gear does it use?

Brendan

It was designed to use a common American Flyer Atlantic's running gear.  I have seen one also that used a Pacific.  Here's a few pics I gleaned from the internet.

Thanks.  If it goes like most of my projects, we can expect finished pictures in a few years!

Brendan

Yes, that's probably true.

Dean

I saw one at York a few years ago, at the Wyndham bandit meet. The kit price without any running gear was $200. Seemed a little pricey at the time.

That would be the conversion for the Backwoods Hiawatha 4-6-0.

I've seen a few of these come up for sale over the years, all on eBay.  One completed 4-6-2 version sold for $228.50 this past April.  A completed Atlantic version sold in January 2015 for $283.00.  A kit identical to mine sold in June 2015 for $189.99 buy-it-now.  But the humdinger was a completed Atlantic version that sold in September 2013 for $555.50. 

All were far too pricey for me at the time.  I just feel fortunate to have gotten this one.

Saw this Thursday on my first pass thru the purple hall and hoped it would be gone by Friday. Brand new, $250! Although I do not model in the modern era, it barked at me as a good deal. On my first Friday pass it was still there (****) along with a few other versions with varied prices. Held off again hoping the "you snooze you lose" factoid would come true. Second pass and it was still there.....oh well!
