[Accrs-ho] Do You Need Help?

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Hello dean,

I would be interested in fixing really old engines. I have two really old steam engines received from andy that I would be interested in fixing up and running. One is a 0-6-0 and the other one is either another 0-6-0 or a 0-8-0 I forgot. But they are tender locomotives.
