LGB 20471 Ballenburg Rack Steam Locomotive No#1067

Hay good afternoon. I actually just joined GSC and saw this thread and felt compelled to reply as the guy who won that rack off E Bay. I've been looking for one myself for over a year and figured I better grab this one regardless of condition if I was ever going to get one but it looks like some lucky guy found a brand new one somewhere? This one turned out to be mostly in tact and actually does have all the gear on both sides but one side has a shield over the gear which I do not see on the pictures above. it looks like someone tried to cut off the shield on mine so maybe I am looking at what seems to be an attempt to remove a shield but is actually a shield that was added? not sure why anyone would cover up all that gear but maybe it has something to do with the power cord inexplicitly coming out of the side. I have not had time to crack it open and try to re wire for track power but that is the plan. I have found all the missing parts except the dome and some piping but the piping was easy to replace with wire stock so I may just need to scratch build or use a similar dome but she is cleaning up nicely and hopefully will work well when properly wired. A new flat black paint job has it looking almost new so now its time to get dirty and see what has happened under the hood. it looks like I will have to go in through the gear box up, no real obvious screws for the body casing on the bottom but if anyone has cracked open a similar loco please let me know, I'll likely need all the help I can get.

I dunno what the original owner was thinking. A power wire out the side? Painting it all red like James? :shake:

Here ya go. Bits all over the kitchen table. :D

Many thanks but this item is restricted to Australian viewing and postage. I dont have an ebay account registered in Australia. Also it is not in excellent condition as the whistle is bent and the locomotive is covered in grime. So - not on this occasion thanks.
