What is wrong with the Proto 0-8-0? I have one that I haven't run in years, but hope to add a decoder and get her running very soon.
Oh, and a little matter of terminology, the firebox is under the cab, the area on the front of the boiler with the stack is the smokebox.

Oops! You're right! Anyway, the firebox will need a paint touch up too!
The 0-8-0 was stored for years in an attic at my parents' home. Electrical pickup seems to have oxydized over the time. It can run, but stops at every revolution the drivers make. I just feel really uneasy to dismantle and break off details on the shell. Except that, it was a fine running engine that would deserve a decoder.
