I have just aquired two brass engines in o guage that are unsigned by the makers. The first is a 4-6-0 that is numbered PA 5734. It is in original black paint and is incdredible in detail.The tender is also brass and is from "Oil Creek". this <br />engine is gear driven and appears to be complete.The wiring is the old cloth insulated and <br />connectors look to be maybe 50 yrs. old. The detail and machining is exceptional and the tender is just as well done. The tender and engine together weigh approx 8 to 10 pounds. <br />The second engine is also unsigned and is brass. It is a 4-4-0 without the tender. this unit is also built to the same scale and standards.This unit is missing the elec. motor. But other than that it is complete. This unit apears to be also <br />at least fifty years old. I hope someone can share some thoughts as to what I may have, as I have been unable to find much on vintage brass engines. I wonder if these are prototype, scratch built engines and if I should restore them or leave them as they are. They sure would be beautiful in use. Any help is appreciated, Thank you.
