AHM/Rivarossi HO scale 0-6-0 Saddletank locomotive circa 1973...


...part of the box lot I recently received from up north. It has since been cleaned and lubed and a set of Kadee #27s installed. The silver accents are not original to the #5155-B model, lining it up to be the next candidate for a future weathering clinic.

The original owner knew enough about tinkering to add four OOO buckshot pellets---one under each dome and another under the fuel bunker---to aid in traction. It is quite a puller, pulling a 10 car train from a dead stop, even though one of the cars is one of my Masonite pad track cleaners.
