Brass N.W.S.L. Logging Engine

If the loco is painted for the correct user(logging line) and is a nice paint job,this can increase the value to some,to others ,they'd rather have it unpainted.Putting it on ebay is probably the easiest way to sell.A picture or two is a must,few items sell without them.I feel the buyers will determine what it's worth,so my opening bids are very resonable,but be careful,you must determine what you'd be happy with,thats your opening bid.I would go to ebay and look around.Just in case you don't know where to go:Toys&Hobbies,Model RR,HO scale.I think this is close.Logging locos are not real common and seem to command decent prices.If you'd be happy with $200,start there,like I said, let the buyers tell you the value.If you wi***o start much higher and nothing happens ,you can always relist with a lower price.Good luck to you!

follydolly - The value of a brass locomotive is often somewhat subjective. The last catalog actually listing common values for these items was published ten years ago. Some engines have gained considerably in value since then, while others remain vitually unchanged.

The 1994 reference book/price guide for brass locomotives indicates your husband's engine was a rather common logging engine, NWSL having imported several thousand examples of the 2-6-2T. The 1994 value was listed as near $200. No one but a brass dealer can quote an accurate figure for this item although I'd suggest it might translate to around $300 today. Best advice would be to check eBay auctions to try and find a recent selling price for an identical model.

I have a brass engine, painted nicely by my late husband. It is Baldwin Saddle Tank Logging Prairie, HO scale 2-6 2-T, circa 1920. Since my grandson has no interest in model RR I am thinking of selling the engine but although I know what my husband paid for it, I don't know the current value.

Can anyone help me out here? I have looked all over the internet for it, perhaps it is no longer made.
