Hi Alan,
So you got got the other two 5071 packs.
I got another two packs prior to these but they had different numbers...I think
they were 114# or 10##?
I used the first two packs to build a 7750, almost, still can't find the 1x1x2
Black windows or the red bogie plates. I'm running it with a 9V motor in the coal
tender. The second two packs I'm using to build the loco in the 7777 book, so there
are two locos designed for these wheel sets, not one.
I've only ever seen 7750 sold once, in Matt Chiles first train auction. It went for
$500. The successful bidder has told me that this set is one of the few remaining
examples and has been sold and resold all over Europe but it now resides in the US.
