I briefly knew Pete through the WGRS. Wish I had a chance to talk more with him.

Sam has posted a few photos of some engines at the link above. You may have to be signed in to MLS first in order to see them?

He has a St Charles Station 60-ton crane which he is aksing for info about, if anyone can help.

Lots of models have found homes, still loads of models, especially entry level locomotives that need new homes. Very reasonable prices, for the ones not listed, email Sam. Gonna be hard pressed to find better prices if you have fancied getting a live steamer to add to your stable. Some unique engines with upgrades by Norm S and Larry Herget. Here is the list updated as of this post.

Ok, here is a listing of some of the engines that are available. Most of these I have NOT tested for operation. Many are new in their boxes (mostly aristocraft and Bowande)
The rest will be sold-as is-unless I can get to it to test. If you have any interest, please email me at sdimaggio at ameritech dot net.

I will entertain reasonable offers. I have a range in mind for most so get there and the engine is yours plus shippping unless you take delivery at DH.

Please help if you can. Peter left no will so your generous purchases directly helps her. I will try to accommodate any thoughtful offer.

There are more of many of the same above…and more still that are not yet in the above list…or yet discovered…If you sold an engine to Pete and now have seller’s remorse…now is the time to get her back. If any prior owner has info for me, that would be great. There are some in the collection I have yet to identify…so, ask and I may find…

There are some parts as well: several unaccounted tenders, a Frank ‘S’ boiler and parts, an Aristo Mike with no tender, a Saito boiler/burner, an o/scale mamod set, and a lot of stuff I can’t immediately Id. I will try to bring some of this Diamondhead or will entertain offers. I will try to get pics of some of this stuff.

Please note that there are some good beginner engines here: lots of Rubies and the aristo switchers. I will sell very inexpensively to any new hobbyist.

Anyone would wants a Ruby to make your own engine ‘x’, then here’s a good chance to get one inexpensively. Remember Larry Newman?

Here are a few I will bring to Diamondhead but I will ship if you can’t wait…:
