| Looks good, but can you post some bigger pics? Please use photobucket (or similar) as your photos take us to myspace and we need a sign in name to view them. |

Yes, please use Photobucket or the forum's own uploader so we can see the pictures more clearly!
Looks a nice refurb Chad - do you have the chimney for it (they so often go missing)?
I've got a similar Fleischmann...
(The lacy cloth isn't mine - these are the photos off the auction site!)
A slightly better photo...
It's a model 120/4 and it's now received a replacement piston!

That will be a nice engine when you finish your refurb Chad 
This is my Fleischmann, looks like we have the same one Steve but different colours

Unfortunatly I dont have the box 
I think we both have the model 120/4 Steve
I think yours is Circa 1951 and mine 1963

Wot - no box!
I understand that the 'smokey' paint effect on the base indicates the earlier make. My engine's changed a little since the pictures were taken as I bought it to proide parts for another Fleisch I was restoring! However I've found other bits so it still works!
