Offered
for auction, One Brass 6 axle Great Northern Vandy Oil Tender by Tenshodo
Models. This model comes without the box and is in pretty good shape, paint has
some nicks where brass shines through but that old Tenshodo flat black is one
of the easiest colors to touch up and hit with a dull coat and it will look
near new again. There is a small dinger in the water tank right behind the oil
tank on the engineers side but is really only noticeable upon very close
inspection. The GN decals have some edge flaking on the circle that a steady
hand could probably touch up just fine. This tender also has the little round
plug socket for electronically connecting the tender to the Locomotive dating
this back to a 1950's era model when Tenshodo used to build them that way.
These tenders still do work well with an insulated drawbar with attention paid
to the tender wheel insulation. Look it
over closely. What you see is what you get. PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED TO SEE OR
HEAR MORE. I cannot offer any history on this item except that it came to me in
a box of trains I acquired. On basic condition alone I'm rating this as C-6
without box. This is an open auction with starting bid price set for $25.00 as
I am including shipping and need to at least break even
U.S.
Shipping comes included in winning bid prices, if I take a best offer I may add
shipping costs then but that would be worked out in the auction. I ship most
times in well packed Bulk Rate Priority mail boxes unless other form of
shipping is requested and I can fill that request. International shipping is
completely new to me so contact me prior to bidding or end of auction and I can
inquire as to cost. All costs are quoted in, and payments accepted in U.S.
Dollars and through PayPal only. I will combine shipping but you have to let me
know if you if you have other bids on my items at time auction is won. Handling
time will try to be kept at 1 day but up to 3 days may be necessary as in my
work I don't know what I'm doing in an hour much less the next day.
Thanks
for looking and Good Luck.
