Today's offering is for two (2) Custom painted (not by me) Family Lines System/Clinchfield subletter GP38's.Auction is for locomotives only, nothing else pictured is included in sale. Each comes with it's own jewel case and insert. According to the jewel case labels they came from the factory in Union Pacific and Milwaukee Road paint before being "sold" to the Clinchfield for coal service. Paint and decaling I would rate as an 8 out of 10 with some minor paint scuffs/scratches. How you see it is how I got it. It sort of gives it the "weatd" look, so I wasn't terribly offended by it. Numberboards would likely benefit from a repaint and would need decals (decals not included). These have been sitting for awhile so would likely benefit from a little lube and some run time. I did not note any unusual noise from the mechanisms during test run but they were a bit "jerky" now and then. I would suspect a thorough wheel cleaning would also be a good idea and would likely greatly improve the performance. Both have been converted to MicroTrains couplers. These are older Kato units that would not be DCC ready right out of the box. Milling of the frame or a replacement "DigiFrame" such as those offered by Southern Digital (not included) would be required to make these DCC ready. I have described these engines to the best of my knowledge and experience read more
