I am listing my Fairmont MT19-A for sale in San Diego, CA for $9,500.  Below is the listing text and photos.


This has been a very reliable and dependable speeder with the previous owner as well as since we acquired it in 2015. When last on the rails, it was NARCOA, PRO, and MOW compliant. It comes with a very fast hydraulic turntable and many upgrades. Key-less hub and rear axle assembly, Canadian double roller chain and full chain guards to keep things clean, oversized brakes, and easy access engine covers. In addition, the exhaust system is equipped with Y pipe and spark arrestor, two-speed wiper motors and snap-on cover for the windshield while towing. Previous owner has completely rewired and added a fuse box with additional upgrades done by last owner. The motorcar comes equipped with Hi/Low beam headlights, dual strobe lights, air horns, brass air penny whistle, cable-car bell, vintage chain oiler, Kenwood radio, Flight Com Intercom with headsets, propane heater, stainless steel 6.5 gallon fuel tank with lockable storage compartments. Included is a custom-made, all-steel, tilt-bed trailer with LED tail lights and marker lights and a spare tire. The trailer is low and very easy to load/unload. There are also many spare parts and maintenance manuals.

*** SOLD 10/1/2023 *** 

The railcar was originally on Burlington Northern's Pacific Division, assigned to the Ballard, Wa. signal department. I acquired it from a couple who wanted to use it on the Pend Oreille Valley RR in Cusick, Wa. by the Canadian border. I had the gas tank cleaned and lined, and rebuilt the carburetor, fuel lines, and put an Edelbrock electric fuel pump on it. I disassembled the engine, lapped the valves and re-ringed it. It has a recent battery, new starter,  new coil, wires and points, new voltage regulator, and an emergency  300 amp battery cutoff switch. It runs and operates well-except it not being up to club standards, it could be run on the rails right now. The air system I built powers the brass whistle on top, as well as the authentic caboose crossing whistle on back. I haven't put a compressor on it; I charge it up with my compressor to show how it works.The seat has new foam and covering. I will sell it with a few extra parts I have, including an extra wheel, mechanical fuel pump, and other things. It needs wiper motors, the left oval window glass, and the left front windshield has a crack in it. The front headlights are as bright as a locomotive. The brake light works as well. I am asking $2,100.00. If you have any other questions I will answer as best i can.  Location: Spokane Valley, WA
