I have copied the bid history and the description of the unit below - as E-bay sites disappear quickly. $3578.00 seems like quite a bargain - is this below current scrap prices?Tom Cornillie - - - Alco S2 switch engine "No Reserve"Vehicle Description KSRY 3023 MANUFACTURER: American Locomotive Company (ALCo)MODEL: S2SERIAL NUMBER: 76512HORSEPOWER: 1000BUILT: December 1948ENGINE: MacIntosh & Seymore 539TENGINE NUMBER: 5163TRACTION MOTORS: GE-731GENERATOR: GE-5GT553ORIGINAL ROAD NUMBER: DH 3023TRACTIVE EFFORT: 58,000 lbs at 5.5 MPHTONNAGE RATING: 5,780 tons at 9.5 MPHThe locomotive originally belonged to the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and was numbered as their 3023. It is believed to have been used by Penn Central after their absorption of the D&H.It was purchased by Relco in March 1969 and renumbered to RE1008. It was used by Chevron in Baton Rouge, LA from 1971 to 1980. It was then sent to Minooka for a rebuild. According to the records, it was then renumbered to RE808. However for some reason the RE1008 number remained stenciled on the locomotive. After the rebuild it was sent to Bunge in Vicksburg, MS and was used there until 1998.The engine was not properly adjusted after the intial runing and one piston froze. The wiring and most parts are in good condition. The traction motors are in good condition but have been disconected. One truck has been completely rebuilt with roller bearings. The second truck has friction bearings. So, the locomtive is on live rail but, cannot be interchanged because of the one truck. The wheels are all 2.5 " and in good condition. I am uncertain of glazing. The horn, bell, and horn valve have possible been removed. Otherwise, the locomotive is completely intact. This engine is sure to peg your smile meter. jamesalansonkirk48o2 ( 0 ) US $3,578.00 Sep-21-05 08:47:34 PDT locodude ( 212Feedback score is 100 to 499) US $3,528.00 Sep-21-05 09:15:01 PDT jamesalansonkirk48o2 ( 0 ) US $3,200.00 Sep-21-05 08:46:35 PDT locodude ( 212Feedback score is 100 to 499) US $3,128.00 Sep-21-05 07:27:11 PDT jamesalansonkirk48o2 ( 0 ) US $3,000.00 Sep-21-05 08:46:14 PDT jamesalansonkirk48o2 ( 0 ) US $2,700.00 Sep-21-05 08:45:55 PDT jamesalansonkirk48o2 ( 0 ) US $2,600.00 Sep-21-05 08:45:18 PDT ianr2003 ( 8 ) US $2,500.00 Sep-14-05 19:40:32 PDT
