4-8-0

[NW Modeling List]

The LMB N&W 'M' 4-80-0 was a very solidly constructed brass engine and will respond well to some upgraded detail castings and a can motor !

Harold, Do you still have that LMB C&O K-4 2-8-4 ? I have never owned one, and would like to see one up close, to see if it could be rebuilt successfully.

Frank: I think that the LMB class M 4-8-0 was one of the best imports by Lenard M. Blum. Yes, it has some accuracy problems but for the time period it was a good model at a reasonable price. Now, during this same time period I purchased a model by LMB of the C&O K4 2-8-4. It was a piece of junk. For $59.00 it was an attempt to make a C&O K4 out of a NKP S2.  I wrote Mr. Blum and told him how disappointed I was and labeled his firm Lousiest Models Built.  As you can imagine I got no response. But I also never purchased another LMB model Harold

There's an LMB 4-8-0 on Brasstrains.com this morning.  To me the price looks quite reasonable. 
 
I'm sure that some of you guys will hasten to point out what's wrong with it, but it is an N&W 4-8-0, I believe it dates to the 1960's.
 
I have one (sorry, Eric; I wasn't trying to get one for myself)and am more than pleased with it.
 
Disclaimer; other than being a very satisfied customer I don't have a business relationship with BrassTrains/Dan Glasure.
