NEW YORK CENTRAL - GE DES-3 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE - HO SCALE BRASS - BEFORE RESTORATION
This little engine was in bad shape when I got it. The only thing saving it was that it was dirt cheap. Missing the roof mounted air tanks and air lines, also, someone had used a chemical blacken to mimic a painted surface. This was extremely hard to remove, but, it finally came off after the second or third round in the acid bath. The gears in the trucks had split, so I had to replace them, as well.
