Are you aware that it's clockwork, not steam?

sure am

Nice little engine, O Gauge clockwork.  Looks to be Bing, it is only a small engine with an even smaller length of run.  Chances of getting a tender for it are very slim.  Nice looking finish, do you know if it runs ?

im not sure paul, i went to the auction today but didnt stick around long enough to see it go.  I picked up a few railway/model steam boooks and magazines.  Also i picked up some VERY interesting plans 'Reed's Extras Engineer's Guide' "Plates" includes some boiler, automatic intake valves, high pressure pistons etc, i love it!
