We thank all those dealers, modelers, and hobbyists who have acquired the more than 60,000 models we have imported in the directly preceding 12 years.

From the brass I just saw at my 1st show, I wouldn't be surprised to see an $800 tag on it. I was surprised to see a lot of good looking brass deisels in the $200-$300 range.

$200, and that seems a stretch.

Well that certainly isn't NEW, not with a wire sticking out the side. I'm not a collector, so I wouldn't even pay $200 for that. It's older brass, as evidenced by the relative lack of detail (cab doors and handles are simply stamped in) and it doesn't look much like it would run good without a little work. It looks to need al ot of cleanup work, as there is no protective laquer coat on it, or at least it doesn't look like it. So either it never had it, or was stripped at some point but then never painted.

The Trainphone antennas pretty much make it specific to the PRR.

Without more information, I wouldn't go over $200. Does it run? How old is it?
Enjoy
