As I doubt I will ever get around to completing these engines, I thought I'd offer
them to someone who might want to take shot at building a brass engine. The original
source for these kits is the old S Scale Loco and Supply of St. Louis when the company
was still owned by Claud Wade. I would hate to see these kits become part of an estate
sale sometime in the future.
These are S scale. I will not piece-out either engine as I feel there is some
historic significance associated with the kits. These kits are no longer available and
probably won't be for the foreseeable future. To avoid shipping charges, I plan to
attend the S West IV in Stockton, CA October 24-26 and can make the kits available
then.
