WELKER & CROSBY FREIGHT TRAIN.

WELKER & CROSBY FREIGHT TRAIN. A rarity that one would search long and hard for! Elegant and sophisticated are two words that one could use to describe this train. The boiler consists of two wood pieces attached with the engine cab being a fine delicate iron casting. A circular strap of iron attached to the wood boiler consists of a headlamp, smoke stack and steam chests. There is a pivoting front truck consisting of the cow catcher and front wheels. Other various pieces of iron trim are connected to the wood boiler. Within the open engine cab, one sees the polychromed conductor pulling back on the lever, ready to engage the locomotive into action. The tender marked, “W. & C.R.R.” (Welker & Crosby Railroad?), consists of two iron sides mounted to a wood chassis. The two gondolas, with fancy cast sides are also of the same construction. SIZE: 28″ l (overall). CONDITION: Overall very fine with uniform wear. Small hairline crack in delicate iron casting of engine cab. JL 1-3899 (1,500-2,000)
