From what I've seen on the Net some of these cars go for $18K to $35K per unit. Add an equal amount for restoration, modernization, etc. and you've got a nice bill. Add transportation costs to your location, railroad usage fees everytime you want to take it out, storage and really starts to add up. <br /> <br />There's a RR here in the Cleve., OH area, the Cuyahoga Valley RR, and they charge $1.2k for a tail end car (holds up to 30 people) for 1 day excursion. Still seems expensive. But if your company foots the bill, go for it. <br /> <br />Regards, <br />Karl
