Did you ever see that dive show on the History channel where they found two 2-2-2 steamers on the bottom of the Atlantic off the coast of NY? It was pretty cool. They were sitting up right on the bottom side by side. They figured they were about 120 years old.

Hi Loathar,

I will get on it as soon as possible. I am moving into my new townhouse this weekend and I will get that part stripped as soon as I get my workshop set up. By the way would you be interested in the motor?

Since I am singking the engine I will just strip them and send them to you.

James: I have an old Bachmann 4-4-0 that I can send you. Send me your mailing address at wimberly3@hotmail.com and I'll send it out as soon as I can. It has the tender with it.

Need a Junker 4-4-0
Posted by Master of Big Sky Blue on Thursday, April 5, 2007 5:40 PM

Hi Everyone,

Perhaps some one can help me out. On my new layout that I am planning 10" X 13'6" There is a spot where I am going to have a lake seen. In it I want to have a submerged locomotive that due to the dificulties involved in retrieval, and the cost of such retrieval decision was to just leave it be and let it deteriorate to the elements. However since this fate is hardly worthy of a perfectly good 4-4-0 I was wondering if anyone might have an old Bachmann or Tyco 4-4-0 Junker they might be able to donate to the cause.

James.
