Is that Minitirx, Arnold or Rivarossi?  I can't see it selling for too much considering its visual condition and the fact that it is untested.  But who knows...

Yep, looks like a chop of a Minitrix K4.  Big flanges and heavy corrosion on the wheels does suggest
that it has not been run in a long time.

Exactly. That is why I don't think it will fetch all that much.

The listing shows:

Q:     Hello how are you, do it run have it been tested? Thanks for your response    Jan-08-15
A:     I WAS A COLLECTOR NOT AN OPERATOR BACK IN 1965 THROUGH 1975 I AM NOW (80) YEARS OLD I AM JUST UNPACKING EVERYTHING. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN TRAINS ANYMORE. THEY WORKED WHEN THEY WERE MY COLLECTION (50) YEARS AGO. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME LEFT TTO BE TESTING THEM.

Peteski, I read that too. That might be the earliest E6 cut n shut of a minitrix I've heard of if he did that in that timeframe!

I might bid in it just to see how it was done!

my guess was 75 ish and I did not bid.

I think I would have gone about to 50 or a little more

I don't see the value in this. Why all the hype? It looks pretty rough to my eye.

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

4-4-0? Someone obviously can't count.

I love the question and the response. You can take time to set up an auction and take pictures, but not 5 minutes with a piece of track and a transformer?
