Great pick up today!!!

I saw this locomotive 805 for sale on ebay a few days ago, and it was in stamford connecticut, only a short drive from me. He took it down and contacted me and I was able to pick it up for 60 bucks! the cabinet is in amazing condition, not even any chips anywhere, and I was so gentle transporting it home (what a nerve-wracking ride lol). the only thing it is missing is the power cord, but I hope to have this be my first restoration project with a lot of patience, and a LOT of learning before I even dive in. can't wait to nag all of you seasoned vets with questions, and I hope to bring this beauty back to life. As you already know, I purchased the other locomotive 800 on ebay that will hopefully arrive in one piece, so I'm attempting to put together quite a nice collection of bakelites. Ive wanted one of these for years, and I think they really are beautiful in person. this one truly is as good as it gets cosmetic condition wise. glad to share with you guys
