Brand New Frank S Live Steam Loco

Very nice
 
Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago. It's beautiful. And interestedly - haven't seen the jostling between the tender and the loco (at least not yet)
LGB did both live steam and track powered versions, I think the live steam one may have been an Aster listing?
 
Very nice.
Did your NOS loco have congealed cylinder lube?
i had to soak my nos frank s cylinders with liquid wrench for a couple of days in order to free them up.

They are wonderful.
Ill have to have a run soon…its been quite a while. My layout has grades, which make downhill curves rather exciting…lol.

Fwiw, I check all the screws , especially drivers and cylinder/frame attachments before every run. They work loose surprisingly easily.

Thank you no I did not. I thought for sure after 39 or 40+ years I would not even have a runner, but I freed everything up with a little heat as somebody on this great forum requested and that did the trick unbelievably. It runs like it is brand new.
 
Now I wish I could find a New Hornby Rocket,I have been searching for such but no such luck as of yet.
