Dave's HO Brass Rolling Stock, Tenders, & MOW:

Tenders:

Overland  C&O J-3 class 4-8-4 Tender

Articulated and sprung Buckeye trucks, lots of detail on top, bottom, and ends of the tender !. 

Some tarnish underneath the original clear lacquer finish. The top of the tender ladder is broken, but superglued in place.

Built in 1978. Complete tender in original Overland box and foam (in great shape).

C&O 6 wheel Vanderbuilt Tender

Rebuilt Gem/Olympia tender (used on their C&O 4-8-2). The Gem model was based on a tender used in MOW as a water car and therefore is very incorrect for an in service steam locomotive. This rebuild  creates a C&O 16-VC tender correct for use behind 2-8-2's, 4-6-2's, 4-8-2's, and 2-8-8-2's

Lambert Brass Water Column

These were imported by Kemtron, Lambert, NJI and probably others. This one is a nice one from Lambert, in the original box. I have cleaned it up by removing excess solder and adding a new counterweight thread.

Used to fill tenders with water from a separate tank located away from the track, they were quite common on large and small railroads. Great when you don't have the space for water tank in your engine facilities.

Brass Stairs and Ladder

The stairs are probably from Overland, and the ladder from Railworks. The ladder and 4 long stair sections are a little more then 5" long, and the two short stairs are a little under 2" long.
