Selling a Standard Gauge locomotive frame | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Pete in KansasOGR Forum Member

I'm a little worried here that I may have posted something for sale that may not be correct. Today I bought the standard gauge remains of an estate sale. Included was a new replacement frame and used boiler for what I believe is an 1835 but my concern is does the 392 also use the same frame? If there is a difference how do I tell which is which? As you may have guessed I don't have any big steam so i don't need these parts and I have listed them in the For sale section but I want to make sure I listed them correctly. If I've got it listed incorrectly please let me know.

This is a boiler and replacement frame for a Lionel 385e, which is the 1835e's gunmetal counterpart. The 392e is larger.

Is it drilled and tapped? That might make a difference to a potential buyer. ☺

The holes where the motor would be mounted are tapped as well as the 2 at the back of the cab and one that I'm guessing is to mount the front truck.

On closer inspection there are also other holes that are tapped so I guess the general answer would be yes the appropriate holes are tapped.
