Anybody out there happen to know what is the most common Lionel 200 series Alco is?

I've a project in mind, and figuring on the law of supply and demand........

Thanks.

That would be a tough call without knowing Lionel's production numbers. One possibility would be the 218 Santa Fe Alco which was made for 4 years and included in sets and had the very popular War Bonnet paint scheme.

 Probably the ones with magnetraction, including the 218.  I got a 'good deal' on a 205 Missouri Pacific last year.  Unfortunately, someone had replaced the motor truck & field with one w/o mag.
