GN Locos           GN Caboose            Extra Tenders          Canadian National           Canadian Pacific

For the most part, may of these models may not be geared to the collector.   They were purchased for my layout not for display on a shelf.   There are several models which are in mint condition - unpainted, unused, and I am original purchaser.  Only these models are described as mint.

Almost all of the other unpainted models were custom painted and weathered to suit my modeling needs. Often the tenders were swapped. After switching to O scale in 1980, they were packed away until 2010 when I contemplated switch back to HO.   At that time, all were checked.  Several had developed cracked plastic gears and were regeared with NWSL gearboxes.  After seeing the difference several of the more noisy mechanisms were replaced with new Gearboxes. 

Many older models have had the original imported open frame motor replaced with a can motor.  Besides being much more efficient and DCC friendly, the appearance is greatly improved.  Note in these pictures the huge open frame motor magnet in the cab vs the open cab with a can motor installed.

To determine the prices I have used the Brass Model Trains Price and Data Guide Published in 2009.  In the left column is listed the BG-SKU number from that source.  I have adjusted the selling price for the paint job applied to the model as covered in the guide.  Also in that column is the two digit grade for the model according to Brass Grading Standards at the back of that book.  If the space is blank it is because I have not yet graded it.  If you find something that you feel is over priced, all serious offers warmly considered.

To purchase anything, please email me at boomer@kingwoodcable.com or write to me at the address below. Shipping is extra and the cost depends on carrier (purchaser's choice) if no carrier is specified I'll ship USPS (they are usually the best anyway). I will charge actual cost as I do not regard shipping and 'handling' as a profit center. All items subject to prior sale. 

Your personal check is more than welcome. I may be able to take Pay-pal after September 10.  Pricing is based on Brass Model Trains Price and Data Guide, published in 2009 and recent ebay auctions.  If you find something that you feel is over priced, all serious offers warmly considered. 

 

Please make checks payable to:

Theodore Doyle,

3307 Redwood Lodge Drive, Kingwood, Texas  77339-2504   

Thanks,

Ted Doyle
