And you thought finding parts for a Girth Fleischmann was hard....

Imagine strolling into the store looking to fix these beasts!


Yea I know parts get custom machined ,.,.,.,.at a Co$t.

I like that one too. And I'll be in Minden this month! Too bad I don't have a grand and a half to drop on that...

same here, and it's kind close to where i live, 4+ hour drive, which is nothing, considering a lot of the large engines for sale are on the east coast. That engine even has Stephenson Link reverse. Those horizontal mill engines take up a lot of floor space, and you would have to make a big base considering it has to be about 3+ ft off the ground, but it would be well worth it . Even though it's $1,500, that's a good price considering what they go for. I'm going to get a job next summer, and hopefully make some profits
