Description

Atlas 41604 N Baldwin 2-6-0 Mogul Steam Locomotive, Virginia & Truckee "Tahoe"
This auction is for one locomotive as shown, purchased new, a couple of years ago, and never run until tested for this auction. The model is based on the Moguls Baldwin built for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and is typical of the 11,000 or so 2-6-0s that rolled on the rails at one point or another. This model has decent detailing, with stanchions for its boiler railings, a variable-brightness head lamp that's bright and works, and a Rapido coupler on the tender that should be simple to replace if that's your preference. Note the smoke stack on the locomotive has a spark catcher. I test-ran it for this auction and it runs fine in both directions. It's painted in the markings of the V&T "Tahoe" and is kinda pretty! The head lamp is good and bright but as noted, is not constant-brightness and is not directional i.e. it's on when the train's backing up. But given the original lamp wasn't electric, unless the engineer put it out when backing up, it'd stay on IRL as well... ;-) Please note the section of Kato Unitrak on which the model's displayed is
not
part of this auction - it's for display only. I've graded this locomotive only C-8 simply simply due to its age. The box and all contents are in new condition but I have NOT gone over the box with a magnifying glass to search for micro-scratches! Oh - instructions are in the box-bottom. This model has lived its entire life in a smoke-free environment, so pick it up and run it!
