6 month restoration. Replacement boiler shell, oriinal part but not original to this locomotive. Reworked steam chest. New handrails, flag holders, smokestack, whistles, weights, boiler light, weight shelf/cab floor. Handmade drive rods, connecting rods and eccentric rods. Replaced motor field coil. Manual reverse switch added, pendulum unit was beyond repair. Custom rubber stamp cab number. MTH Hudson tender (looks like original, and I had it spare) with custom rubber stamp lettering. Runs so smooth. Beautiful locomotive, one of my absolute favorites is now back on the rails.
