7.5” 2-8-0 for sale

Post by Gra2472 »

Offered for sale, two West Valley Live Steamers 2-8-0 project locomotives. These are complete kits with boilers, tenders, frames, wheels, cylinders, valve gear, running gear, and pilot truck, along with various small parts. I have gone through the kits and have verified that they are about 90% complete with all major components machined and ready to be assembled. They do need to have the main and connecting rods either machined, or finished up. Some are done, some are not. I have some drawings for them, but not a complete set. The valve gear is machined and assembled, and ready to mount. They also have aluminum cab castings, and nearly finished tenders. They need trucks and couplers, and such. They need to have the smokestacks machined and domes and jewelry.

These are as close to a brand new machined locomotive kit as you can get, for a decent price. I am asking $6,500 apiece for them, or $12,000 for both. Shipping is possible, but these are heavy little locomotives. I suggest that you pick them up.

I should add that they have smokeboxes and number plates and so on. Lots of little parts that go with them.
