RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted January 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hmmm, not from ebay but I recently bought (in a Livonia, GA USA antique mall of all places) a LIMA O scale LMS 0-6-0 road number 4547 for the whopping sum of $15.00. I suspect that I will be happy with it as I have a cut of about ten LIMA European passenger cars. It will not look too out-of-place among the PRR steamers! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you could make a heritage railway layout, especially if your passenger cars are not British outline. All of the cars are Continental; SNCF, DB, & at least one Swiss car (SBB?), so an LMS freighter would fit right in Here are two samples: They were being used as a backdrop for the insulator photo session. As I recall, I think that the Grill car should have a pan on it to power the kitchen equipment; maybe one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still a cheap way of buying a power bogie!* Yes, you pay a reasonable price* for the power bogie and get compensation back for what’s on top of it... Although on the other hand I think if it was on a slightly longer chassis, detailed and repainted it might make quite a nice ‘heavy’ industrial shunter. But you’d be changing so much you might as well start again. *if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
