SHIPPING: Please note that shipping charges have gotten quite out of control. The price quoted assumes west coast delivery in most cases. If you are closer you can trust that the charges will be commensurately cheaper depending on distance. We will refund any significant difference. You pay what we pay.
Combined Shipping: As we are selling a lot of Standard gauge lately please understand that several lots will result in the shipper charging a balloon rate. In most cases this eats up any combined discount and may result in the final price being more expensive than the sum of the original quoted prices.
PLEASE Take these thoughts into consideration before bidding!
This 1914 era 20 is one of the cleanest early clockwork locomotives I have had. If I collected this era I would not let it get away. I spent the afternoon cleaning her up and oiling the motor. The piece is just beautiful. The blueing on the motor's side plates is as new. Nickel plated side rods are clean and shiny. The Japanned black finish is super as is the pin striping and cab stamps. The motor runs strong and smooth. The little 11T Tender is not quite as nice as the loco but they came to me together so that's how they will go. This engine will be a tough upgrade!
Please view the pictures carefully, they are the most important part of the description! Photographs should also supersede any written description!
COMBINED SHIPPING: We are more than happy to combine shipping when possible. Please note we are selling items from two different
locations, obviously those items cannot be combined. Items with "PA" after the title are at our Pennsylvania location, and items with "CT" are in our Connecticut location. Items purchased through eBay's global shipping program CANNOT be combined.
Buy it now items are also for sale in our online store. We reserve the right to terminate an auction if it sells elsewhere.
Please understand shipping is very expensive and continuing to rise. We do not attempt to make money on shipping. Ebay also charges us 15% off the top on what the buyer pays us for shipping. Think about that! If we charge 10.00 to ship, we only receive 8.50. We have to buy boxes, peanuts, wrap, tape, etc. We do not charge for these items in the shipping cost. We will refund any significant overage!
