Reply to "Can a loco be rated C-7 Excellent, if electronically or mechanically it doesn't work correctly?"

Thanks for the information guys.

Since probably 99 out of 100 people who are considering buying a used locomotive today are buying it so it will actually run, it would seem to me that the current rating system is a total joke and absolutely worthless.

Imagine:  "65 Chevy Corvette for sale. Excellent condition!  The engine is blown and it is sitting in a large puddle of oil.  Don't miss out on this one!"

I think it is time for some reputable national train organization to adopt a new set of ratings and rules, which include operating condition.   I mean, isn't that what organizations are for?  :-)
