Some guy in USA is selling what he claims is a very rare hr800 2-6-4 steam loco. Not a missprint as the photo shows the loco as a 2-6-4. Its a series 3 but there is no tender with it and no mention of it been lost. This is seller with over 4000 sales and a 99.9 rating . So far it got 6 offers up to $55 or so with 9 days to go. I will wait and see how high it goes. It looks ok apart from wheels and missing tender and even has paddle slider. Eddie

I remember that I needed about six years to find the right tender for a 1950 SK 800. An exception are the tin tenders for models which are affected by zincpest eg HR 700, SLR 700/800 or R 700. In these cases the number of tenders in the market is much higher than the number of locos surviving. Regards Markus
