Had some time to kill yesterday before an appointment out near Pomona yesterday so I went into a store on Pomonas antique row, this particular shop always has one booth full of model train stuff tho mostly HO and O junk, but there were two large scale items to my surprise, a Kalamazoo engine and tender and a Kalamazoo passenger car, I wasnt going to buy them until I saw that there was a 50% off flyer posted in the booth, in fact almost all the booths were 30-50% off, thats the economy these days. SO I got the loco, damaged as you can see for $25, and the passenger car for $15, not too bad but the loco needs work and I kinda doubt HLW still has parts for 20 years old Kalamazoo stuff.
So, THIS IS A PLEE FOR PARTS, look thru your parts boxs...
I needz...
Sand Dome
Stack cinder barrier
Headlight housing
Boiler Backhead
Most importantly...
Pilot wheel assembly and swingarm
Now if I cannot get the parts to restore this engine, then I will try to rebuild it with whatever I can assemble myself, but I'd like to try to get it close back to original condition as possible, then I can add additional detail parts and consider repainting it.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided
PS YES it does run
