Well that is about $9 cheaper than my favorite purveyor of things trains, but if it goes over $60 then that would be starting to be more than some of the discount folks.
Well, I just checked it again, $50 is more like it. It was listed for $5000.00 when I first ran across it and posted it!
I can't believe this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BACHMANN-SA...778582?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item53ece5f356
That's some dang fine looking weathering on that model! And the customized convertible cab looks awesome. LOL
The best part of this is the description (after viewing the pictures) "Good shape, but does have wear from age and use." Umm, yeah.
Adam- After reading between the lines, I translate their quoted statement as: "Look what I found buried in my back yard." Yikes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BACHMANN-SA...778582?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item53ece5f356 It looks like this guy found his first donor for a scrap yard loco. That is where it belongs! I would take it, ONLY IF HE paid to ship it to me.
Kudos to the seller for the ten bazillion pictures, but I think I only needed the one to determine that his li'l toy was beyond basket-casedom :tb-wacky: Cheers, -Mark
I'm surprised he didn't describe it as an accurate model of a wrecked engine that has been carefully and professionally weathered using realistic techniques.
Ah. OK. Then we'd best get started with a very serious bidding war, right now! I scouted around under the car seat and found seven cents, so will open with that.
DCC Ready?? It didn't state in the listing........DCC decoder installed or DCC ready??? Wait a minute it's not a SPECTRUM model! Not a steamer either! PASS
But thanks to us looking he has a ton of hits and he probably thinks he's right on with his description!
I wonder if he was able to type the item description without laughing? "In good shape, with some wear"...:wideeyes:
Actually, I have an old diesel- not this one, that needs a part to make it run. If I see one of those in this condition/ at this price, I would write and ask if it runs, and if so, consider a bid...
