Assembled and Custom Painted

Comments:  There are pre-drilled holes on three of the walls of this tower, intended for a semiphore and "dummy" flood lights.   These parts were so unrealistic that I did not install them.  The holes are easily filled, covered, OR used for your own external lighting.

Micro-Engineering Through Girder Truss Bridge - Single Track, HO Scale

Assembled and Painted with CODE 83 Bridge Track (Micro-Engineering)

Custom Weathered - lightly and lovingly

Comments:  I built this bridge for a new layout that never happened.  This bridge has never been used.  As I recall, it is a 72' bridge but I can't remember the length exactly.  It seems ME has no website (reason enough for me to boycott, but their stuff is so great!), and I don't have time to wade thru Walthers 6 million listings for my advanced search.  Anyway, it's longer than the 50' and shorter than the 100'.  Why didn't I just measure it and convert it to HO feet?  Good question....  Happy bidding!  This is a great bridge, and it's all ready to go for you!

Lot of 7, world famous Tortoise Slow Motion Switch Machines!

I bought these new, and now that my layout is dismantled, I am selling them off.  These are used, but I tested them (there were 9) and they all work fine.  All Switch Machine parts are included (screw, drawbar) and installed.  Sorry, not the original boxes.

PLUS!

I am including 7 electronic connectors with soldered feed wires!  Just making your life a little easier is all.  On my layout, I used the connectors for quick and easy "plug -n- play" capability.  They are also great for wiring your signals, etc. without actually soldering to the switch machine.

This kit was a gift to me from the Eastern Car Works guys I got to know at train shows back in Philly about 5 years ago.  I dusted it off and found an interesting prototype photo to be my guide.  In the proto photo you will notice how the right ladder is chopped off about half way up the car.  I copied this feature, as well as the diagonal braces of the early model PRR H40 airslides.  Although the rust and faded gray in the proto photo was really tempting, I decided to go with a darker shade of gray and model and paint this car as it looked right after the new Conrail re-painted it (and before they put on the roller bearing trucks!)  Hence, the bottom of the car is still rusty and grungy.

Feautres:

-Proto 2000 50-ton trucks with metal wheels

-Custom "one of a kind" decals and paint (no kidding, it's my own color: "Way Too Dark Gray!")

-Kitbashed Piping/Brake Equipment on car bottom (from an Atlas tank car - not visible in photo)

-Kadee couplers

-Cal Scale air hoses

-Grab irons on ends

-Step rungs

-Kadee brake wheel

-Coupler cut levers

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Lot of CP Rail intermodal flat cars with trailers.  Canadian Pacific converted a number of 50' boxcars to TOFC flats to handle longer trailers and to deal with decreased boxcar loadings.  Here are two of these conversion cars.  Different road numbers of course.  Features kadee couplers, metal wheels, and Cal Scale air hoses.  I have added two custom weathered trailers to complete the set.  I did not weather the bottoms of these flat cars, rather, I left a clean finish as shown in the photos.  I prefer to offer a low starting bid, but I have to go a bit higher on this one because of the added trailers.  Original boxes, literature and spare parts included. $39.99

Walthers built up kit.  I think it is called "Merchant's Row" but don't hold me to that.  This building is in pretty good condition, but:

The front door section needs to be re-secured.

The chimney is incomplete.

Other than that, it's got a decent paint job and I have added a "base" of foam core.

Micro Engineering Tall Steel Viaduct (75-515 HO) - SLIGHTLY DAMAGED!

Custom painted and weathered.  Includes painted bridge track with guard rails.

Story:  Ahh, what a great bridge.  It never was installed on a layout.  I decided to take it outside and photograph the rolling stock I was selling on Ebay a while back.  A strong gust of wind knocked the bridge to the ground and broke it (cleanly, along glued joints) to the ground.  The horror! 

The two viaduct towers are in great shape - no damage.

The bridge track lost one of the two guard rails.  I still have it and it needs to be re-attached.

The 5 section deck portion of the bridge came apart in 3 sections as shown in the photos.  Also, pointed out in the photos, several of the cross braces are cracked.  This sad fact is not evident once the bridge track is in place.

The bridge feet are missing from one end of the bridge deck and will need to be replaced.

The two towers were never glued to the deck.

The track was never glued to the deck.

That's it.  I can't list this item as "excellent" or even "good" but I really think that with some restoration it will be a fantastic fit for any layout.
