HO Scale Union Pacific Railroad Rogers #119 Steam Locomotive & Tender in Box

Description: HO Scale Union Pacific Railroad Rogers #119 Steam Locomotive & Tender in Box! It was two years ago, after the passing of my father, that I renewed my interest in model railroads. When I was little, my father had a HO Scale collection which he left to me. From that collection I found one locomotive, a Virginia & Truckee Railroad Genoa 4-4-0 which required repairs, and it showed me that these trains can be repaired, refurbished, and restored to operational condition for many more years of enjoyment by model railroad enthusiasts...without having to pay hundreds of dollars for the newer models. So what are you getting? As the title states, this is a HO Scale Union Pacific Railroad Rogers #119 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive & Tender, an American-style locomotive which was originally released by Rivarossi of Italy as the Genoa, Reno and Inyo, only to be continued by Bachmann as the American-standard such as the Jupiter CPRR and Rogers UPRR. When I received it, the locomotive was in great condition and had little that needed to be done to restore it. Minor cleaning to remove dirt and dust, as well as to buff the axles to improve contact with the tracks, is largely all that needed to be done. Here are some highlights... 1) All the brass / metal pieces were cleaned and bright.2) The light functions properly when engaged in forward AND reverse. Watch the video and you'll see it shines brightly.3) The Bachmann box and Styrofoam cradle are clean, undamaged and white. The clear plastic window showing the locomotive inside is undamaged and clean. Original paperwork is also included.4) Drive shaft was present. A hook and horn coupler is attached at the rear of the tender car. The steps on the tender are intact and undamaged. Testing (see video) shows that it runs well, both forward and reverse. It responds immediately, with no hesitation. The ONLY issue that someone might find with this locomotive is that when it is pushed to 100%, it will sounds a little loud (watch video) in forward and reverse. However, when it is backed down to even 90%, the sound dies down appreciably. The motor for the locomotive is fast and responds quickly. These are the types of locomotives I love to work on, simple in design, yet rewarding when they are restored to operational condition. They may not light up, or puff out smoke, or make noises while running, but they are a wonderful addition to any model railroad hobbyist's collection, be the a long-time veteran, or a new enthusiast wanting to start. What's the difference? $$$ Shipping will be via US Ground Advantage to keep costs down. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have other similar locomotives which I will release, so if you have a 2-4-0 or 4-4-0 design you're looking for, stay tuned...you might see it listed soon!
