In another evilbait listing, same seller, one catalog number different: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Athearn-891...d=100005&prg=1088&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=310792633808&
Considering the car noted yesterday, this would seem to prove we are seeing, (yet again), another lister with a decimal point error.
Here is one I saw today while looking through undecorated kits! http://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-CUSTOM-W..._RR_Trains&hash=item2ecbb9b0b1#ht_2184wt_1666 Athearn flat with junk box car! Rick J
The completely weathered over flat car is a bit too much. Somehow, that flat car does not look quite right. Worst is the chain size.
Funny enough, I would just ask that seller for the Boxcar. But not for that price. And yes, that flat car does look a little off.
Key word 'overdone'. I can never mentally buy in to the melted boxcar passing for a wrecked one thing. But yes, aside from that the whole thing is just too much (including price!). His structures are a little more believable - if only he would ratchet the whole process back a bit. I can see railroads using a caboose as an office, but why would they go to all the trouble of putting the thing on tall stilts?
Weathering ain't bad, but the prices........no wonder he didn't sell that car. And as bent-up as the gon was in one of the photos, methinks in real life it woulda been cut up on the spot before being hauled off. Good idea, fair execution, bad pricing. I'll pass.
This listing makes me chuckle at the contents. The only good things are the two brass passenger cars. The rest are either too broken up or are poorly painted. (At least those two passenger cars never were on the business end of the painter's brush) http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Model-Tra...929515?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3387939a2b This other grouping is too much for the cheaper Bachmann and Tyco items, especially when most of them are missing crucial parts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-Train...106527?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item2ecaa1f21f
Interesting how one seller goes into such details on a batch of cheap stuff, but another person gives so little when there is nice brass involved.
First one, twenty nine bucks (current) not too bad. Not one of the painted units is usable as-is. All need to be stripped. Steamer is bad....PCC is horrible. Second one...I gotta go check the basement. Sure looks like some of the nephew's stuff stored down there! Most of the cabeese are junk....roof corners snapped off, others trucks and floors missing...really nice locomotive there....yeah, right. He could shift the decimal point and it would still be too much for the junk it is. Dave
I'm trying to think of who did brass in red boxes. For some reason, tonight I cannot remember. Sunset?
OK I know there must be a reason this Superliner is going through the roof, I just don't know it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360800405643?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I can't see the fine writing on the left side all that well. There is no Amtrak color scheme on it. It IS plated however.
No it's not - I recall a transition sleeper that went for around $250 a few months ago. Overall though they have been staying pretty steady from the mid $40s - mid $60s. This thing is another animal, the way it's painted and boxed. Almost like it's some kind of prototype or something.
