[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ICRR1964 WOW! It looks to be in really good shape, Really nice pictures! The one I have like this is in bad shape and a shelf warmer. The last one I seen like yours was last fall at a train show in the original box and looked as good as yours. If you do take the tender apart, be very careful, the tender chassis is made out of diecast and is old, it might crumble or break in half. As good as shape as yours is in it might need a good cleaning and some lube is all. Is the bottom plate on the bottom of the loco missing, or did you just take it off for inspection? ICRR1964 [/quote] Yes, it's the plate on the bottom that's missing. I see a later vintage yard goat on e-bay that looks to have a similar if not identical bottom plate. If I can get it cheap enough I may just pop for that unit rather than attempt to fabricate my own plate. The connectors are there although they'll need new wires and soldering. The cow catcher has one side broken off otherwise it's in flawless cosmetic shape. That's why I assumed it was the 69-74 vintage, the plastic work on it looks so clean and I assumed they didn't do plastic work like this back in early 60. I am not sure how the tender cover comes off on this one. I don't see any mounting screws on the bottom side of the unit.
