Overland Models imported a 2-rail O scale 2-8-4 for various roads.
As with several OMI models, it had a cast "white metal" frame. Several of these frames have rotted. I don't know when those models were produced, nor where they were made. The 2-rail O scale SP GS-4s that OMI imported in the early 80s (I have two) are fine. In late 90s Weaver produced several troop sleepers in O scale (both 2- and 3-rail). They used a 'white metal" frame, many of which have rot. -- Rod Miller Handcraftsman === Custom 2-rail O Scale Models: Drives, | O Scale/S Scale West/Narrow Gauge West Repairs, Steam Loco Building, More | 2019 O Scale National Convention http://www.rodmiller.com | 2019 Dates Are May 23 - 25 | http://www.oscalewest.com
