Like most people from Ohio, I'm looking at B&O diesel sets...

Well then lets look at it a bit closer:

You are getting:
Powered F-7 A unit 
Powered F-7 B unit
Die-cast scale hopper
Stock car
Box car
Wood sided reefer
flatcar with log load
tank car
Illuminated Caboose

The tankcar and caboose have die-cast chassises to add weight and from the pic the stock car and reefer have very nice detailing.

I would estimate the value as:
A Unit - $299
B Unit - $175
Hopper - $65.00
Stockcar - $45.00
Reefer - $45.00
Flatcar - $45.00
Boxcar - $45.00
Caboose - $45.00

Total: $764.00

So not too bad... you would have to add at least $250 if this were a Lionel set, at least $500.00 if it had TMCC...

Based on my experience...

Wes, I have seen these K-Line B&O sets and they look real good to me.   The detail is better than on my Lionel FTs.    How many axles are powered?  That might make a difference in how you install the TMCC.  A B&O FT A-A with TMCC and RS went for $387 a couple of weeks ago on eBay.

That set is a steal. The savings should pay for the Tmcc. I know nothing about TMcc yet, Im still 20 years behind in O scale.

The A-B set with both powered has to be worth something to somebody with such a big train to pull. It is a tempting buy.

That's kinda what I was thinking.  Basically the money saved on the set would pay for the TMCC...

I don't have the shopping knowledge, so I needed to know that it was a pretty good deal.

Thanks,
Wes

Wes,
I don't have that set, but you could add TMCC to this from Electric RR for under $200.00 making it a steel!

Nice find!

I have been eying the MTH ABA, but came across this today while picking up more track for the layout...

It's a K-line set from around 2003.  I found it for $399, new in box.  I haven't had a chance to pilot any of the nicer K-line sets (besides by K-line speeder set).  With 4 motors, this should be a really nice hauler.  The only downfall is that it doesn't have built in TMCC, speed control, or some sort of railsound.  It's still a very nice set for the money.  Does anyone have this set?  What do you think?

Thanks for your opinions,
Wes
