[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by HighIron2003ar Looking back on the old AHM engines costing 100-200 in 1960 is no different than say. The older AHM engines still command prices of 100- in mint condition. Consider that wages in 1960 is a heck of alot better than what they are now. [/quote] You're saying AHM engines were sold new in the 1960's for $100-200? Where does this info come from? Memory or ? Just curious. I cannot access my older issues of MR from the late 1960's right now to check for myself. I do think this is probably an exaggeration but I could be wrong. And who is paying $100.00 for mint older AHM engines? Collectors? I cannot imagine anyone wanting one of them to operate with their overly large "pizza cutter" flanges. Our modular club had been operating for over 20 years now and I remember some members bringing some of these older ones when we first started, and the flanges were running on the ties in some places. The original poster mentioned paying $300.00 for one loco. Just where does it say that you need one this expensive anyway? There are many fine locos out there for a lot less. It's sort of saying that you need to spend $60,000 for a top end Cadillac if you want a car. Some people can afford one, the rest of us drive Fords, Chevys and Chryslers. Bob Boudreau
