I lucked out.  Not only did I find a great steam engine, it is from the Pennsylvania Railroad and part of a complete set with all the rolling stock.  Here is a 35 year old Con-Cor PRR set #8505, still in the original box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"401\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505.jpg?resize=750%2C401&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C548&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C411&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C822&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1096&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Con-Cor-PRR-8505-scaled.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The engine is a 4-6-4 Hudson.  We tested it on a layout at the show and it worked great.  It has traction wheels that were completely dried out.  When I got home, I cleaned those and they softened right up.  The engine works great!  In addition to the steam engine and tender, there are twelve boxcars and a caboose.  All are in fantastic shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no light in the front of the engine even though it looks like there should be one.  There are two wires that connect the engine to the tender.  I am not sure what those are supposed to do.  Otherwise, this whole set is perfect.  I could not be happier with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the steam engine, I also picked up an assortment of rolling stock.  I found a car carrier that works great with the pack of N scale cars I picked up on Amazon.  In front of the car carrier are four PRR tankers I picked up at the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?resize=750%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trustyetc.com\/modeltrains\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Car-Carrier-1.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To round out the rolling stock, I found a five pack of Kato double stack Gunderson MAXI-IV Well Cars and two PRR flatbed cars with semi trailers on them.  My rolling stock collection is looking much better.
