F3 Brunswick Green and Congressonals

[Anonymous]

I just acquired the entire group of the F3 Brunswicks including 8952/53, 8064 - B unit, 2 units 8059B, and all eight congressional cars in mint condition.

Is this a valuable and desirable collector's set? What is the value of the entire set? How would you display it?

Hi,

My rule of thumb has always been to never buy a train and worry about resale value. Buy it because you like it. The Pennsy equipment you cite can be fairly expensive to buy. Is it desirable? Not to me, as a New York Central fan; but for Pennsy fans, F3 fans, or the die-hard breed of MPC collector, it would be.

I wouldn't display it - I'd run it.

Congrats on your find!
