Hello!<br><br>I have recently purchased a lot of trains. In the lot were two Aster trains. A Shay and a JNR Mogul. Those were easy to id as Aster. There was a third engine in the group that I have not been able to id it's manufacturer. It is a UP 9000. It does have a tender with it. The tender has the water and fuel tanks. There is an electric motor to pump the water to the boiler. The motor looks like an early slot car motor. The fuel tank has a plunger to pressurize the tank.<br><br>The tender is made of brass. The engine is made of brass and what appears to be galvanized steel. The engine has been run as evidenced by the oil on everything. The oil seems to have gummed up a bit and I think that everything should be taken apart and cleaned.<br><br>The burner does not have wicks. It appears to be a tube with slits cut into it.<br><br>I measured the distance between the flanges of the drive wheels and it is 32mm. The drives wheels do have a suspension.<br><br>The engine and tender weigh close to 40 pounds<br><br>Is there anyone that can point me in a direction to id this engine and get it in operating condition?<br><br>Please reply to getstuffnowATcharter.net Of course replace the AT with @<br><br>Thank you!<br>
