I recently had this fall into my lap:

I believe it's the MDC old-timer 2-8-0 and I'd like to rebuild it. Not so much as to make it run (though that would be nice), more for display. It is however missing a few parts.

From what I can tell it is missing the front pilot truck, 1 crosshead, 1 crosshead guide and one main rod.
It was missing the cab but another modeler gave me a Bachmann cab that fits fairly well.
It is also missing the motor/worm gear but that's not as important. My next job is to clean everything up and start mounting the cab to the boiler.
