I currently own an HO Tyco train set that my father had as a kid, and the locomotive included is a General 1860 4-4-0 with W&ARR on the tender. I have come to understand that the set was produced during the "blue-box" era of Tyco and probably was sold in the late 1950s, early 1960s. I have been able to get the train in fairly good running condition (still jerky even on a clean track), but the cab of it has crumbled to the point that it cannot be fixed -- it was made of a pewter type material. My father passed away this summer before I could get his story on the set and I am wanting to restore the locomotive for sentimental value. I am aware that Tyco products are not know for their superior performace, but to find one that is still in one piece that I can take parts from would be great. If anyone has a similar locomotive, or knows of someone who may deal in Tyco trains, please let me know.
