Heck, it looks to me like someone spilled a bottle of brass paint on it.

If it's worth that much, they could at least offer some detail pictures.

And it is an ugly engine as well!
I really can not imagine somebody spending a years salary on something that could be valuable or might be not.
Would somebody have soldered something together and made a good story as Ebay description? Could it be a hoax? If the seller can not deliver a "proof of authenticity" than any figure over 100 USD is probably too much anyway.
Nothing beats a finished and restored train car......

I've got a wood carving at home that I may sell for $100K. I think it might be the prototype for the Brio

First of all, no one has bought it yet...and probably no one will. Second, it's not up for bids. I was amused at a $10. shipping cost for a $50,000. item...just throw that sucker into a padded envelope! Joe

At least there's a "Discount avaibable" off the $10 shipping!! For that price I would think it would be flown in and hand delivered.

And we all thought that Ives "Chicago Flyer" tender went for big bucks. Check out this Lionel turbine! And the seller doesn't even know if it's legit! [:0]
