514 This loco runs forward, reverse and lights when using test wires. The paint has some scratches, along with dirt & grime. Worst of all, the cab’s lower cross brace that is just behind the trailing truck has broken off and is missing. I’ve owned this engine for over 25 years and only noticed this now when cropping these photos. The boiler front does not secure shut, is missing two green jewels and there is a little crack in the glass lens. The whistle tender is re-wired using super-flex wire and sounds good. The coupler solenoid clicks out when powered. The drew bar comes off easily and has a little bend to it. The tender is silver rubber stamped “2226WX”. The “X” appears to have been factory painted over in a failed attempt to cover it. The black color paint matches the tender frame black and I can feel the paints ridges.
