We go from the ridiculous piece of junk that was the GHQ to a really good engine of the 1940/50s, the Ohlsson and Rice .23. This one has the accessory rotary valve crankcase front, crankshaft and special wire handled cork plug for the original intake tube. Also, but not clear in this picture are the special stamped steel base lugs which O&R sold because the original cast brass open ended slots gave trouble. Original crank, case cover and timer are shown with it. This was a good engine as anyone can tell you who was around at the time. Maybe I should have stayed with this light weight stuff instead of going to 300 pound live steam locomotives.
