"D&RGW-ized" Bachmann 2-8-0 and K-27

I did this for a friend four years ago, but due to circumstances beyond his control, he has to part ways with it, so he’s asking me to sell it for him.

Custom-detailed, painted, weathered, DCC-equipped (QSI Magnum), so it will run on DCC or analog DC. For the battery folks, all you’d need to do is to plug the G-wire receiver in and you’re ready to go with either the Airwire or NCE controller.

The loco hasn’t seen a whole lot of running; I built it, delivered it, and for the most part it’s sat on the shelf since then.

Price reduced:

Asking $600

I wish I had the money myself; I’ve always liked how this one turned out. (Hmm, anyone want a customized B’mann 2-6-6-2 with battery and Airwire–no sound–for $600, and I’ll buy the 2-8-0? The 2-6-6-2’s not painted yet, so I’d custom letter it for your own railroad…) But I digress.

Also:

This one was custom-weathered by me, but no cosmetic changes (though I did replace the paper window shades with cloth. Likewise, it mostly sat on the shelf–very little run time. Also DCC-equipped (QSI Magnum)

Also reduced:

Asking $1,200

Both locos can be bundled together for $1550.

Prices DO NOT include shipping.

Bah, I’ve been using your writeup on that Connie, to rebuild mine. I’m in the middle of mine so I dont see the point in buying that one. But I have to say I really liked what you did with that Connie.

Kevin,

I am really thinking the 350 needs to make its way to my roundhouse, so what do we need to do to make that happen if it is still available? Also, wondering how the gearing is? Has it been updated?
