I hope it runs. I had that engine as a child only mine was a 0-8-0 and it proved to be a dismal performer. Back in those days AHM and Riverossi and Brass with Can motors were the top engines and way out of reach. I closed the book on that engine long ago. It is due to that engines' dismal performance that I seek out rather expensive top shelf engines such as Broadway Limited. I dont get very many a year but the ones I do get are keepers. Looking at the photos, it seems the engine is in very good condition. If I remember correctly the boiler is going to be a bit light and derail at the first flaw in your track. Track today isnt the hand me down brass horrorshow of long ago, but I would want to encourage you to get the most you can out of the engine. You might find that the tender side frames is rather "Floppy" I think it was designed that way for some reason. Let us know if it did run for you.
