I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

 I looked at spookshow.net at his steam locomotive encyclopedia and he only had one 2-8-8-0 Mallet listed. The last time it was imported was by Con-cor and was made by Rivarossi in Italy. Before that in was imported by MRC/Rowa. He gave it his highest grade of A. I hope this helps you.
