       My Dream Locomotive.....

       We all seem to have a locomotive that falls into the Dream
       Locomotive category.
       For me it's the Lionel 221 Dreyfuss Hudson with the 221W tender.
       I've looked at a few, usually out of my price range or they were
       missing
       enough parts that it would drive the price of rebuilding it out
       of my train
       fund range.
       Yesterday, I attained my Dream! I was able to trade a fellow a
       box of HO
       cars & locomotives that I was selling for $35.00 on Craigslist
       to him for
       his 221 & 221W tender.  It's not perfect, it does have a few
       chips in the
       paint & a dent in the tender, but overall, it's perfect in my
       eyes.
       I haven't put it on the track yet, I need to clean & lube it,
       but it's sitting
       on a couple pieces of track where I can admire it while sitting
       here at
       the computer.
