The Candlewood Valley Scenic Railway has decided to concentrate solely on Narrow Gauge equipment, As such, our 1:29 Scale New Haven train set is up for sale. I do not wish to ship. Local pickup near Danbury Ct, or free delivery to the NELSTS in Springfield April 27-28. You can click on pics then hit + to zoom in.
The trainset consists of the following:
SOLD USA Trains GP-9 Locomotive in McGuiness New Haven paint scheme. The loco is set up for trail car use with power and sound connections at rear and MU power connection at front. Hook up details and mating connectors will be provided. Conversion back to track power is straightforward as all factory wiring is intact. The power pickup skates were removed but will be included. I can convert this loco back to track power if desired. The drive axles have been replaced and no longer use traction tires. Both front and rear dual headlamps were converted to bright white LEDs. When powered by a trial car, the directional lighting functions the same as on track power. Most of the front and rear details have been repaired. I have the original box, but it will not go back in with handrails and details installed. Well used and dusty but runs and looks great! Recent eBay sales range from $300 to $489. I’m asking $295.00 Add $25 for conversion back to track power.
