Up for sale is an excellent Weeden #80. The Weeden #80 is a nicely detailed and very heavy, well built engine with its lever handled whistle, sight glass, brass grommet “porthole” heat vents, swinging safety door, 2 wick burner, nickel plated boiler and blued steel stack with simulated spark arrester. As always there is some paint loss and some oxidation. The base retains most of its maroon paint and some yellow striping. The engine has a great unique swinging ball governor attached to the engine by a new spring belt. The engine has a cast iron frame and base and some brass parts. The steam pipes are nickel plated brass, the pipe is disconnected from the top of the valve box but should be an easy fix if desired. One end of the boiler is loose but also should be easy to reattach. I have displayed it for a long time without noticing either of these. The engine has a realistic slide action valve. I don’t recommend trying to run these old ones. Look carefully at the photos for the details as they are part of the description. Ken T’s book says scarce in any condition. Look carefully at the photos as they are most of the description! Thanks for looking and see my other auctions for more Weeden products, save me in your searches too.
