Old rivarossi engine

[julienjj]

Are the rivarossi engines in the long red box reliable ? I got an UP 4-8-4 in the eyes, a club member is cleaning a bit of his unused locos and could sell it to me to a good price. I think the engine migh be easily be older than 15 years and has little run time.

red rivererossi box and both run smooth. only problem
are the oversize flanges
