How many of you build new locomotives for your railroad?

Bob, I keep a constant watch on any U18B that shows up on eBay. Somehow, that one must've slipped by. The last one I saw went for around $50. <br /> <br />Have you seen the unit? If so, is it at all close to the prototype? <br /> <br />One thing I notice about the old Lionel HO U18B's is their overly-clunky handrails. One hesitation I would have with buying one is handrail replacement. Other than modifying Athearn handrails, I'd probably have to custom build handrails. <br /> <br />Also, their roadnames were a bit odd. I think I've seen a SOO and a DRGW. You have to wonder why they didn't go ahead and use the prototypical roadnames. <br /> <br /> <br />Matt
