To buy or not

If you already have two...PASS (the info to me as to where it is)

 

I cannot forget the time I was visiting Southern California, and stepped into a local hobby store. They had a brass SP AC12 (I think), a cab foreward. I looked, paced around the shop, and, put off by the $450 price tag, left. Won't do that again.

 

Checked brass trains tonight. A second AC 9 was sold this week for $1650. I screwed up and could have picked one up a few years ago for less than $500.

Brass prices are getting better these days.

 

...still waiting on the information as to where it is.

 

Jeff. The loco was at Reeds in San Diego. I emphasize was. I bought it today and they were able to find the box, so bonus there.

 

What a relief! The Mountain finally came to Mohammed...

 

SPSteam...you'll regret this decision. I'm very disappointed in you. At least post a picture of her.

 

JMauer,

There is an MT-1 on eBay right now. Good luck. I won't be bidding on this one.

 

I still hate you...(j/k)

 

The locomotive in question is actually an MT-4 with the wrong box. The box in the auction is from the non-skylined MT-1 Key released that year.
