I assumed it would be one of those that drives around in the mall or whatever (with rubber tires, no track), which I would find not-quite-as-cool-as something like a 1:8 live steamer engine.
I was recently gifted a G gauge live steam locomotive, which I am eager to get up and running. It will be able to run on our railroad museum’s train layout!

That’s an amazing display piece, but for $17,200 I would expect it to actually operate!
@PooltoyWolf Wait, it doesn’t even work?
Hmm…
Sure ’nuff. Wild!

@PooltoyWolf @xobzoo Oh, wow!
@PooltoyWolf @xobzoo They going to actually let you do that?
@PooltoyWolf
Woah, Nelly!
Post some pix!
@PooltoyWolf I just assumed it worked for that price. Holy moley!!
Def send pics of your new toy when it is operational
@Kidsandliz @xobzoo Yes! This one is butane fired rather than coal, so is much cleaner and simpler to run, even indoors.
@tinamarie1974 About the only thing I still need to do is oil the cylinders and slides properly.
