3.5' Gauge American For Sale "SOLD"

Post by H&NERY »

Selling this 3.5" Gauge American, I believe it to be an LBSC Virginia, ran great on air when I purchased it, comes with tender and all parts. The bad news is that it needs a boiler, a hydro test revealed that the crown sheet is leaking. Virginias had 2 boiler options, the wagon top and the straight barrel big boiler, this locomotive was built with a straight barrel but not to the specs of LBSC's design. I had purchased a boiler kit from Blackgates Engineering and can also be purchased if interested, but it is for the Large Boilered Virginia so some modifications would have to be done to the cab and whatever else may need to be changed. Boiler is currently off of the locomotive. The only reason I am selling this project is that I already have 1 American and do not need 2. Asking $2000 for the locomotive and tender. Asking $750 for the boiler kit, kit includes all material to build the boiler including the flanged plates, boiler barrel, bushing material, tubes, and copper rivets for the stays. I can ship, open to offers or partial trades for other 3.5" gauge 3/4" scale equipment. Send me a message for more details,
