This is one engine that holds up very well in the used market. I’ve seen these routinely sell for 1000 and up. Minus the lack of quilable whistle and maybe 4 chuffs this models holds up well or better than compared to recent legacy offerings. I’m always on the lookout for c&o power and if one of these popped up on the bay or the forum for I expect from 800-1100. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable paying more than 1k for even a NOS. It’s to close to current pricing in case of a re issue. It’s a fantastic engine though. I got chance to play with one for over an hour or so about a month ago and it makes you take a hard look for sure. The used market is very fickle. C&o holds up very well compared to other roads. F-19’s and H7’s especially. There are several tmcc versions of mallets and T’1s on the bay for well over 1k and to me that’s insane. But if you watch close deals can be had. I bought a f19 and a legacy T-1 for less than I was gonna pay for a new pre order on a new t-1. Just in the past month. Good luck on you search! Also be on the lookout for a new project in the works.
